[QUOTE="NanoBite, post: 513862, member: 13565"] You have a choice of two places to change this: [I][INDENT]System Prefs ~> Sharing[/INDENT][/I] If the Padlock in the bottom left hand corner is locked, click on it and enter the Admin Password to unlock it. Otherwise just highlight the Computer Name: and change it to what you want it to show. [INDENT][I]System Prefs ~> Accounts ~> YourAccount ~> Name:[/I][/INDENT] You will be prompted to enter your Password to change the name. So the first choice requires an Admin Password to make the change and the second choice requires your Account Password. It's up to you what method you choose and the end result is pretty much the same. [/QUOTE]
