Changing Administrator name

I want to sell my old iMac (27-inch, late 2012 running macOS Catalina 10.15.7)and want to remove my name as Administrator and replace it with "New Owner" or with the actual name of the new owner.


How can I do that?

iMac (24-inch, M1, 2021, 2 ports)

It would be best to follow the instructions Apple provides in this article -> What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your Mac - Apple Support


Note that Step #7 says to erase your Mac and reinstall macOS.
