Terminal Name doesn't Match Computer Name

Today when I logged into Terminal, I saw that instead of my regular name along with the bash prompt, it said unknown00231224c68c. I checked my Computer and network names under Settings> Sharing. (I have Web sharing enabled and and my computer's website is also called "00231224". I do not know why this is happening. I took a screenshot of it so you guys can see what's happening.User uploaded file
