smile.gif I pass my old computer to my nephew, but I don't want him to administer the computer. whistling.gif

 Thinking.gif is any way to change the name of the owner?

I'm using OS X 10.2.6

Pascalin- if it's the User Name you want to change (which i think it is), then go to this link below and read the last reply.  This will give you very clear instructions how to do it.
