[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1833174, member: 38864"] The Apple support article on changing the username does still apply. That's exactly what I did. As I said, it's bizarre that when creating the initial user, you can't use any capital letters. When I created my wife's account as a second admin user, it had no objection to me entering a capital letter. This inconsistency is baffling. I just reinstalled High Sierra on my older MacBook Air as a last ditch attempt to troubleshoot the lockup issue, and I couldn't set a capital letter for my username on that either. So whenever Apple started doing this, it's been a while. I haven't had to manually create a user from scratch on a fresh install in a few years, thus why I've not seen it before. Or maybe I have and just forgot. [/QUOTE]
