I have two administrator user accounts, and I need one of them to turn the other into a standard account.

How do I do that?

Search for user accounts in System settings , there you will get window like this

enter image description here

Now select the account you want to change to Standard One, Unlock it from the Upper right button which will ask for password.

Now selecting the Account type Button ( refer image) , you will get option as Standard. It will again ask for password . Now it is done.

For Doing it through Command Line Refer the link provided by adempewolff in the above comment.
