I haven't tried it but maybe at system>administration>users-groups.

I just tried the method I just mentioned. It does not work.

usermod -l username new_username

Won't change your home directory name, but will change your username to what you want for login purposes... oh, sudo it.

Outstanding. Thank you.

Saved me about six hours of random fumbling around. :P
