You can create new account from GUI, too.

Goof to hear, it is purely for testing. maybe I was worried too much.
But, if so, why not create an dummy user account? And use it for
testing. It is a very good way to test upgrade issues with local
configuration data. By using dummy account, removing it is very easy
and will not cause lasting issues for your root account.
Good luck,
