    Cannot change build in admin name/login name


    Hi, I am having trouble changing the admin name /login name as a build in user. I have tried all four ways advised online for changing the name and nothing seemed to work. Is there an alternative way or is it not possible?

    :)

  2. name changes??

    If you desire a name change please do the following:

    • Ask yourself if you really need a name change.
    • Make sure you have a good reason.
    • Know what you want your new name to be before you request a name change.
    • Send Urlyin a PM containing a decent explanation of your reason as well as your desired name.

    Changing the local admin name

    Hi guys,

    I need some help with my local admin name.

    I am handing off my Lenovo T530 to my friend. I have deleted anything personal and only have W10 (20H2) with latest updates left.

    I went into the control panel and changed the name of my local admin account to my friends name.

    However, when displaying the windows directories -> Users, I still see my name. And more, when i change the password with alt Ctl del I also still see my name.

    How can I change both to my friends name?

    Thanks for any suggestion.
