With the arch installs with default user "alarm" if you want to change the username to "bill" you need to either plug in a usb keyboard or headphone serial port cable, use ctrl+alt+f2 to login to terminal as root. Then you can run the following commands to change the username.

Code:
pkill -KILL -u alarm
usermod -d /home/bill -m alarm
usermod -l bill alarm
reboot

it worked for me from the users section in settings today in phosh
