Well, that's not how you create a geth account. 

Please follow the below commands one by one to create a new account:

$ geth account new
$ geth account new --password /path/to/passwdfile
$ geth account new --password <(echo $mypassword)

It Creates a new account and prints the address.

Now on the console, use:

> personal.NewAccount()

Now you will be prompted for a password.

or

> personal.newAccount("passphrase")

The account is saved in an encrypted format. You must remember this passphrase to unlock your account in the future
