Changing your Username
by AndyMac
Changing your username in Ubuntu is not as simple as changing your password.
Click “Applications”->”Accessories”->”Terminal” and type the following in the window that comes up:
usermod -l <newuser> <olduser>
Replace
<olduser>
with your current username and
<newuser>
with the username you want.
Now you should probably log out and log back in and you’re set to go!
Changing Your Password
by AndyMac
Changing your password is an important security feature, and something that is often recommended to do regularly.
To change your password in Ubuntu, go to “System”->”Administration”->”Users and Groups” and click on your user name, then “Properties”
In the boxes at the bottom of the “Account” tab, you can set a new password! Make sure you don’t forget it!
