In Notepad:
Code:

:CHECKACCOUNT
if /I "%user%"=="insertusername" ( GOTO :ACCOUNT ) ELSE ( GOTO :CHECKPASSACCT )

:CHECKPASSACCT
if /I "%pass%"=="insertpassword" ( GOTO :ACCOUNT ) ELSE ( GOTO :COUNTER )

In COMMAND:
Code:

Your error as seen comes from wrong formatting. Don't put it all on 1 line. Instead use this:

if /I "%user%"=="insertusername" (
     GOTO :ACCOUNT 
) ELSE (
     GOTO :CHECKPASSACCT 
)

The deeper, underlying reason is: goto :somewhere command needs to be terminated by a newline.
