Hi,
I'd like to change the name of my macbook pro - it shows up as the name of the device that I used a Time Machine backup to create it. I looked under System Preferences and couldn't find any way to do it.

I'd also like to change the admin user name. I can't figure that out either.

Thanks,
Anna
