reset root imac name ?

[NeoCool]

Hi guys and gals would you be so kind as to help me reset the default system name. Ive purchased another Imac and it still has the original users details.

Im don't mean the home folder user, its the system name.

Is there a tool or easy way to change this please.

Can you create a new user with Admin power. Login to that user and delete the original one? It's all under user groups in system preferences.

root imac name

thanks bud
although that does not seem to change the name of the Imac
its name is User.
BUt this does not appear or come up in the user accounts.
so can change account names but not system name.

any suggestions please.

I would recommend wiping the disk and reinstalling. You don't know what garbage the previous owner left on the disk nor do you know how they modified OS X.

However if I understand what you're asking, what you're looking for is in System Preferences->Sharing.
