Start from the beginning. I understand you purchased a new MacBook Air, and completed its setup instructions. Those instructions included the creation of a User Account name and password.


Then, you changed that user name. Describe how you did that, because it requires this specific procedure: Change the name of your macOS user account and home folder - Apple Support. If you did not follow that procedure, describe what you did in lieu of it.
