How do I change my administrater name?

When setting up my computers (Vista) I used the admin. name (fictitious) ABC. Later I changed my log on name (to CBA) the usual way using -control panel/user accts/user accts./change your name. When attempting to network (later yet) I couldn%26#039;t network among computer unless using the original admin. name (ABC). The computer still stores the (ABC) profile under computer/system properties/advanced sys. settings/(advanced tab) profiles. Nowhere is the (CBA) profile except on the log on screen. I%26#039;d like to rename the (ABC) to (CBA) to make it easier to remember. (3 computers). The first name i chose for myself (admin.) on each computer was not easy to remember. thats why i renamed later. I didnt know I%26#039;d be stuck with it forever. I found no way to rename the original profile (ABC) except for logging on purposes. I%26#039;m forced to network using the old admin. name. confusing...yes.|||u r rite,,, i didn%26#039;t get it. so confusing :(

Ask the administrator to give you privileges to perform the download.

How frequently can you change your last name?

Recently hyphenated my maiden name with hubby%26#039;s because we are expecting our first baby. Got as far as SS, bank account, and driver%26#039;s license, but now starting to regret it as it%26#039;s become a royal PIA. Both names are easy to pronounce and of English origin, but I have to spell both and mention that the name is hyphenated which for some odd reason seems to trip people and computers up.AAAHHHH!! I wish that I had researched this a little more. Considering just changing my name to hubby%26#039;s before taxes or baby comes, but wondering if this will just create more of a mess. BTW, it%26#039;s only been about 3 months since I started this process and not sure if SS will let me change name again so quickly. Anyone else been through a similar situation?|||I really haven%26#039;t heard of this, but I know you can give the baby any of the last names, yours, his, the hyphenated one. It won%26#039;t be as bad as you think, so many women keep their names that schools, etc. think nothing of your name being different that the kid%26#039;s.





My sister divorced, took her own name back, then married again and kept her name. So she, her husband, and her son from first marriage all have different names.





I am glad the hyphen trend is dying out. I am with you, it%26#039;s just too nuts-and the next generation then might be joining two hyphenated names! But keep your own name if you like. I do understand it means a lot to many women, and I don%26#039;t think men should get so upset. My husband was so mad when I kept mine,, but when I asked him how he would like to give up his name, he said %26quot;That would be HORRIBLE%26quot;. Exactly.





Good luck. Unless SSA is worried about fraud I can%26#039;t imagine it would be too big of a deal.|||Maybe she got married IDK|||Well sorta kinda I can relate.

Thanks for your help!|||Change your computer name





Computers on a network need unique names so they can identify and communicate with each other. It%26#039;s best to keep computer names short (fifteen characters or less) and easily recognizable.





We recommend that you use only Internet-standard characters in the computer name. The standard characters are the numbers 0 through 9, uppercase and lowercase letters from A through Z, and the hyphen (-) character. Computer names cannot consist entirely of numbers, nor can they contain spaces. The name also cannot contain special characters, such as the following:





%26lt; %26gt; ; : %26quot; * + = \ | ? ,





Note


Some Internet service providers (ISPs) require you to use a specific computer name so they can identify your computer and validate your account. If your ISP requires a specific computer name, don%26#039;t change the name they give you.





Click to open System.





Under Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings, click Change settings. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.





On the Computer Name tab, click Change.





Under Computer name, delete the old computer name, type a new computer name, and then click OK.

Your screen name is one AIM account -- it%26#039;s not like you can change the screenname like you would other things like your email: your screen name identifies the account.

To rename a computer


You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group in order to complete this procedure. If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings might also prevent you from completing this procedure.





Open System in Control Panel.


On the Computer Name tab, click Change.


Under Computer name, type a new name for the computer, and then click OK.


If the computer is a member of a domain, you will be prompted to provide a user name and user password to rename the computer in the domain.





Notes





To open System, click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click System.


A computer joining a Windows domain must use the name created for it by the network administrator, unless you have a user name and password with rights to create computer accounts.


If you supplied a valid user name and password for a secure Windows domain, the domain membership will be automatically updated with the new computer name.


If you specify a computer name longer than 15 characters and you want longer names to be recognized by the Active Directory domain, the domain administrator must enable registration of DNS names that are 16 bytes or more.


If you rename your computer or workgroup when it is disconnected from the network, duplicate computer names might result.
