You will probably use "ren" in the format: "ren [drive:][path]currentname newname". For example, "ren C:\users\username\documents\testfile.doc testworked.doc". Make sure to include the file extension at the end both times! If you don't know the extension, you should be able to use "dir [drive:][path]" to show all the files with their extensions in a specified folder.
