What might be wrong in this?

Created the user without home directory and listed it, but shows failed.

If the user ‘javad’ already exists and you want to remove the user along with their home directory, you can use

$ sudo userdel -r javad

Re-install the javad
and try

Hey @shiva12 - Thanks for your response, user javed is not already present and I’ve created with sudo useradd -M javed. and looked up the passwd file and submitted. It say failed.
