I have deleted my data from my old I MAC 27" IOS Catalina. I want to give this computer to my son. The problem is my name is still showing up at log in. How do I allow him to be the administrator?

See the following Apple Support article for information on clearing a Mac when giving it away. Note the step 2 applies only to newer Macs; use the other steps instead. What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your Mac - Apple Support
