When you first set up your Macbook, you’ll be asked to enter a name for it. By default, the name will be a combination of your user name and the type of Mac you purchased, such as Dan’s Macbook. To change the name, follow the steps below:
Admin full name
The first step in changing the name of your administrator account is to log in to the Admin screen of OS X. Click the Users and Groups menu and choose the Admin tab. The name of the administrator account will be shown in the list of user accounts. Click the name of the administrator account to edit it. In the window that appears, type your administrator password and click OK. You can now edit the name of your Macbook Admin account.
You can change the name of the administrator account on your Macbook in a few ways. You can change the name of the user account associated with your Macbook if you wish to. However, you should make sure to back up any data before making any changes. However, the process is simple and should only take a few minutes. Before you start, you should back up all data on your MacBook Pro.
The first step in changing the name of your administrator account is to open the Users folder. From here, you can change the name of the administrator account. The new administrator account will have admin rights and will be able to edit other users and system settings. Remember to keep your administrator account secure, otherwise you will run into problems. It is always a good idea to backup any sensitive data before making any changes.
You can also change the name of your admin account by renaming your home folder. This is a more complex process, but can be done by changing the admin name on your Mac device.

Just follow the steps outlined below to make the changes.
Short username
If you want to change the name of your Macbook, there are several ways to do so. You can also change the home directory. If your Macbook only has a single SSD drive for its OS and applications, you might want to move your files to another drive. However, there is another way to change the name of your Macbook to a short username. This method is more advanced.
In Mac OS X, you have two names, a long name and a short name. The long name is your full name, and your short name is the one that appears when you log in through a network connection. The short name is also the name of your home folder, and it’s also your shortcut for logging into the Mac from other computers, such as through SFTP and SSH. It is important to note that changing the home folder name is not the same thing as changing the short name, so it’s essential to follow the directions carefully. If you don’t follow these instructions, you may lose your data.
To change the name of your Mac, go to the System Preferences menu. Click Sharing near the bottom of the screen, in the same section as Display, Sidecar, and Date & Time. You’ll find a text box where you can input the new name of your Mac. This box is usually labeled “Computer Name,” but you can change it to whatever you like.
Once you’ve changed the home folder, the next step is to change the user name on your Mac. To do this, you’ll need to log in as an administrator. You’ll need to change the name of your account in the System Preferences window, and then restart your Mac. You may need to check if the old files still exist. And don’t forget to change the password before closing your Mac.
Home folder
While it is possible to change the name of the Home folder on a Macbook, the process isn’t as simple as you may think. First, you’ll need to change your user account’s name. This is usually found in the Users folder in the startup drive. The name you want should not contain spaces, and it should match the name of the folder. Once you’ve changed your account name, open up System Preferences and select Users & Groups.
Next, open System Preferences. Choose Users & Groups. Next, find and click on the account that you’d like to rename. Enter a username that matches your new home folder name. For maximum effect, use lowercase letters. You can also choose all one word for the account name. Be sure to backup all important data before renaming. This method should take about five to 10 minutes.
Once you’ve changed the account name, you’ll have to sign in as the new user to access the Home folder. If you’ve changed the account’s username, you’ll need to sign in with a different administrator account. Once you’ve done that, the folder will be renamed accordingly. Remember that the name of the account should match the name of the home folder, or you’ll have trouble accessing it.
Another way to change the name of the Home folder is by moving it to a different location on your hard drive. By default, the name of the Home folder is the same as your account’s name. However, if you’d like to relocate the Home folder on your Macbook, you can do that by moving it to a new location on your hard drive. Using macOS has made account management much easier.
AirDrop
If you’ve ever wondered how to customize your Apple AirDrop identity, you’ve come to the right place. AirDrop lets you send documents from smaller Apple products to larger ones. In addition to Macs, AirDrop also works with iOS devices. Here’s how to customize AirDrop on your Macbook:
First, open the AirDrop application. You’ll notice an icon at the top of the list. You’ll see the icons of all AirDrop compatible devices in the area. Select the device from which you want to send files and change the name of the recipient’s device. When you’re done sending the file, your Mac will say “Sent.”
Next, you can change the name of AirDrop on your iPhone or iPad. There are two ways to do this. Choose the first method if you want to change your name on all locations. Launch the Settings application and choose General. Next, tap About. Once you’ve changed the name, your iPhone will automatically save it. To change your Apple AirDrop name on your iPhone, follow the steps below.
Apple keeps the AirDrop name change process simple. Once you’ve finished changing the name of your device, you can then customize AirDrop on any Apple device. iPhones, Macs, and iPods can all change their names through AirDrop. When you receive a file, your new device’s name will be displayed, just like your profile name. This way, you won’t have to worry about transferring files.
Password
If you own a MacBook, you may want to change the name associated with the administrator account. It is possible to change the full name of the account but not the user name. To change the name associated with the administrator account, you must create a new user account, and delete the one belonging to the previous owner. To do this, open System Preferences in the Apple menu (top left corner of the screen). Then click on the lock icon in the lower left-hand corner of the screen.
To change the name of the user account, you will need to change the password. The password of your user account is the one that unlocks your Mac. You should not confuse this password with the Apple ID password, which you use to access the iTunes store, App Store, Apple Books, iCloud, and other services on your Mac. The login password is used to unlock your Mac. To change the name of your user account, you must first change your Apple ID password.
The account name is visible in three places: in the account name, in the Home folder, and in the Full Name. Changing the name in these places will prevent others from accessing your Mac. If you have a password, remember to change it regularly to prevent your account from becoming too difficult to manage. This will also prevent your user from accidentally changing the name of your user account. You can also change the name of your account by following the instructions on the next screen.
To change the name of your user account, you can follow the steps in Control Panel. Firstly, open the Control Panel and select “Users and Groups” and click on “Change user name”. Be sure that your new account name is the same as the one you changed in the system’s settings. If it doesn’t, you could damage the user account or cause further problems. You can always use another administrator account to change the name of your user account.
