How to change the name on a new Macbook?

How can I change the user name on my MacBook?

  • I just brought a MacBook of a friend and it's got his name as the user in the Finder. How can I change the name to mine? I don't want to freshly install the OS.

  • Answer:

    go onto system preferences and in the 4th row it should say "Account" click on that and it should come up with a little box and next to it it says name: just type in you password when the box comes up and asks for it, then type in your new name and press enter:)
