Can't change username in MacOS Ventura 13.0.1 (22A400)

I can't rename my username in MacOS using this guide.

I see this picture:




As you can see the Username field can't be edited by me (I am admin and I have all logins & passwords).


How can I solve this issue? I can use terminal to run scripts or commands.


My setup:

1) Macbook Air M2 (8 gpu cores) 16/512

2) MacOS Ventura 13.0.1 (22A400)

MacBook Air Apple Silicon

please see this apple support page: Change the name of your macOS user account and home folder - Apple Support


you need to follow these steps TO THE LETTER. even one mistake can leave you locked out of your user account. and it will be very difficult, if not impossible, to recover from that.
