How to parse or get Local name of user ?

On windows log on screen My username is - Admin, but when I type 

net user Admin newpass

It says there no user admin. When I go to Disk C > Users there wasn't any folder called admin. So admin folder was called otherwise. How I can get/parse this name using CMD

You can get a list of Users on the System using net user command.

The net user command is one of many net commands which is used to add, remove, and make changes to the user accounts on a computer, all from the Command Prompt.

net user command

Use commands this way :

net user

Will list all Users be it built-in or created by you. You will get the name of user you want here. 

net user Administrator

Will give all details of the User Administrator. As you can see in above image admin is different from Administrator.
