Mac name changed after crashSo my computer hung today and I had to force it to shut down and re-start. When the unit fired up, all of the settings were completely reset.
When I open the terminal, my prompt looks like this
Code:brian-laptop:~ Chase$
What could be the issue?
Also, I went into the "Sharing" section of my System Preferences, and my computer name is "Chases-MacbookPro"
Ideas?

Anyone else using your computer? Any other accounts activated besides yours? Are you on a network?

I purchased a new Patriot SSD about a month ago and completely formatted my disk and started from scratch. I am the only owner of this Mac.
I AM on a Network but no one else has access to my machine.
