I have a G4 with OS 10.3.8. Well I dont want to wipe the machine, I just want to change the log on info which I did but the short name will not change. Is there anyway to change this? Or create a new Admin account and delete the old. I know if you create a new user there a standard account and not admin, but there is no limitations.
Thanks

There is an option when you create an account in OS X to allow user to Admin computer. Just click that and it will create another admin account
