Error: the account "bakst" can't be created because there is already a system account of that name.

db accounts show bakst

will likely indicate that name is a system user who cannot be deleted due to the current settings for that user

system user status is reserved for special users eg admin & others and is not normally set that way for regular users
I'd suggest an error was made when manually configuring this user, that's why only the recommended commands and methods of adding users should be used.

Read up on the db commands tutorial to learn how to change the Removable setting.
See the db tutorial howto linked at top of forums.

The error did happen during the user creation process.  I tried to create the user in Server Manager.  I assume this is the recommended method of adding users.

Perhaps a matter of interpretation, but I see no evidence of insulting behavior.

I think she's had a problem with me, from the beginning.

Unless you have expert knowledge of sme server (which you do not appear to have)...

Ah, your angst appears to be a psychological concern not to be seen as a noob !!!
You also seem unable to "take on board" a valid and documented suggestion.
