[QUOTE="BlackStar81, post: 737036, member: 69829"] Hi! I got a Macbook from my boss... It is the Macbook from hes previous assistant. I got the Macbook as it because I need to wok on the sames files... The point is, I got the Admin Password (from my boss) And I've been able the modify the previous account password, name, and everything, except one thing. In the finder.... under System and Softwares --- users --- ''nameofthereviousguy'' that ''nameofthepreviousguy'' is what i'm trying to rename... The icon of thi folder is a House... If I try the normal operation to rename a file in the finder and I put the new name I want, i get the following message... ''nameofthepreviousguy'' can't be modified or deleted because it is required by MAC OS X. If I ctrl click on the folder and try trought the getinfo... (and the lock icon at the bottom is unlocked) I get the same error mesage... Please Help me... I'm sick of seeing the previous guy name in my MAC. BTW i litterally felt in love with MAC. MFG i should have discovered Mac before in my life !!! So happy... this is completly better than a PC !!!! Thanks !!! [/QUOTE]
