Default Network Login

Is there a way to change the network login user name? I am using my husband's
old computer and I would rather have the login name be mine. I can find how
to change the password but not the user name.

Go to Control Panel | Network and set the primary network logon to
Windows Logon. Reboot the computer and log on with your name and no
password. After that, it will automatically log you in with your name,
without a logon prompt.
