I keep notes on everything I've done to setup and personalize my PBP.  Here are my notes on your issue:

Change the default user rock:rock to NEWNAME:NEWNAME, passwords, etc.

   Log in as root,root and open a terminal
   $ passwd root                         # Give root a strong password
   $ usermod -l NEWNAME rock             # Change the rock user to NEWNAME
   $ groupmod -n NEWNAME rock            # Change the rock group to NEWNAME
   $ usermod -d /home/NEWNAME -m         # Move rock's directory to NEWNAME
   $ password NEWNAME                    # Change NEWNAME's password
     Enter new UNIX password: NEWPASS
   $ chfn NEWNAME                        # Change NEWNAME's fullname
   Log out of root

Log back in under your NEWNAME with old password

   # Fix login error: "Configured directory for incoming files does not exist"
   $ blueman-services
      Select "Transfer" tab and set "Incoming Folder" to NEWNAME
