How to change the default username?

Question

Hi, I've just received my FLX1s and am starting to play with it. One first thing I'd like is to rename the default user 'furios' to something else. Is there a howto somewhere for doing this?

I would be leery about changing the account. Instead, I edited /etc/passwd and changed the real name to my name. In theory, you could change the account name there, in groups and shadow then rename the home folder, but there may be other stuff buried further down in the system that will break something.
