User name and password change?
#2
Use the passwd command to change password and usermod command to change username:
https://man.archlinux.org/man/passwd.1.en
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/users_and_groups

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
