    This opens the Windows “power user” menu at the bottom-left corner of the screen.

    Now you'll see a terminal window displaying the command prompt.

    This is the command to display the SIDs of all user accounts on the system.
    • If you know the person's username, use this command instead: wmic useraccount where name="USER" get sid (but replace USER with the username). [1]

    The SID is the long number that appears after each username.

    What is a Windows SID?
    Community Answer
    An SID, short for "security identifier," is a number used to identify users, groups, and computer accounts in Windows. SIDs are generated when the account is first created in Windows and no two SIDs on a computer are ever the same. The term "security ID" is sometimes used in place of SID or security identifier.
