'change the login ID' is a bit vague
Some variations
To select a different user name when logging in use the pull down against the username on the login screen.
To add a new user - see 'Lite User Manager' under Settings.
Use this to set up the new account with appropriate permissions etc then log out and log in as newuser. If you are happy with the newuser 'Lite User Manager' can then delete the old account and associated data.
To change an existing user name to something different - search for usermod command.
This can change a username associated with an account ID. Aspects related to the account ID such as permissions and passwords remain the same.
Again probably best to be logged in as something else while making the username change.
Because only the username associated with the account ID is changed, the home directory will still be the original name. Changing this is not always straight forward as some files within the folder can reference the folder and some applications may expect data to be in the old folder name. This can become complex to manage.
