    I am sheepishly asking for help with what may be a very simple solution.
    I cannot remember my login name and my mac boots up with that field blank.
    How can I retrieve my login name? I know the password but the login name escapes me.

    Feeling unsmart

    Another Mac

    Start up in Target Disk Mode (hold T) from another Mac and look at the name in the User folder.

    If you have a disk utility live cd/dvd, you might be able to view the folders that way. You don't even need to get to files, just browsing the directories to see the user name.
