On your terminal:
Create the user:
useradd -c "FirstName LastName" -g admin -d /home/desired_username -s /bin/bash desired_username
Set the password:
passwd desired_username

Try inserting sudo before those commands:
sudo useradd -c "FirstName LastName" -g admin -d /home/desired_username -s /bin/bash desired_username
sudo passwd desired_username
