The Apple ID is for the iTunes Store -- and this forum etc -- and not for the computer, although the computer can be authorized for a certain ID.

Follow this procedure:
Change your OS X account name and home directory name - Apple Support
As they recommend and as always when you're messing with administrator accounts back everything up first.
