Hello JohnD,

Code:

sudo -i

Code:

adduser 'JohnD'

Enter password.
Type when asked

Code:

y

Code:

adduser 'JohnD' sudo

Code:

sudo deluser 'oldusername goes here'

^ these adds the new user name, group, and makes it sudo , create /home folder for that user, it then deletes the incorrect username, you will lose all data in home folder so if it is personal files then save it to usb drive before doing this.

A password for a specific username can be changed by - Menu>All>User Manager

If you wish to change the password of the new root account , like so -

Code:

sudo passwd root

type new password
retype new password - they both must match
