How do I change a user id on a macbook pro?

I originally used my user id and password when I set-up my girlfriend's new 13" MacBook Pro. How would I change that and set-up her own Apple ID
and password?

jje,
if your Apple ID is currently associated with your girlfriend’s MacBook Pro, then you’ll need to do a clean reïnstallation of OS X on it to associate it with her Apple ID.

How do I change the admin password on my MacBook pro

I have forgotten my password and I don't want to wipe my hard drive how do I change the password?
I have done the following:
Rebooted selected a language, it then went right back to the installer but there was no change password as an option.
Under disk utility it was not high lighted.

First, make sure caps lock is not on.
Another reason why your password might not be recognized is that the keyboard layout (input source) has been switched without your realizing it. At the login screen, you can cycle through the available layouts by pressing the key combination command-space or command-option-space. See this support article.
You must back up all data before continuing, unless you've already done so. If you need to back up but can't log in, ask for instructions.
If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
Otherwise*, boot into Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
*Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead these instructions.

How do I change the install language on a MacBook Pro

Hi folks,
I have purchased a 2nd hand MacBook Pro that was using Polish as its default language. I have changed it all back to English, including 'sudo languagesetup' in utilities, however I want to reintsall the OS and when I press Command > R on startup the setup is showing in Polish still.
Can you please advise how I can change this English? I have researched extensively but still have not found answers beyond using the terminal in utilities which I have already tried,
Thanks
IW

Then you will need the original system discs that came with the system when it was new or a replacement set of them. The Replacement set can be ordered from Apple for a small fee.
That system should not been sold to you with Mt Lion, or Lion, installed on it. Those 2 version of OS X would be Tied to the original persons Apple ID that installed either of them. These versions of OS X, when purchased from the Mac App Store for older Mac computers, can not be transfered to someone else.
I don't think an Apple store will be any help. You need to reinstall the original shipping version of OS X then upgrade and update it to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and then you can either log into the Mac App Store using your current Apple ID (Or create an Apple Id if you don't have one) and buy, download and install Mt Lion on that system.

How can I change the user name on a macbook?

I don't mean the accounts, but the actual name of the user of the macbook.
ex. where it says "John Smith's Macbook".

There should be something called "System Preferences" and then "accounts" go to that. There you can change it.

HT3563 How do I change a bluetooth profile on my macbook pro from headset to headphone (a2dp) audio only so it will not conflict in my multipoint stereo headset shared with my iphone.

I have a LG HBS-700 bluetooth stereo headset and "in order to access Multi-Connection mode, at least one of the two devices you are trying to connect to the HBS-700 must be able to select a profile, OR one of the two devices must only support one profile (Either Headset/Hands-Free or A2DP/AVRCP). For example: Two handsets which support both the Headset/Hands-Free and A2DP/AVRCP profiles cannot be connected to the HBS-700 simultaneously. But, one handset supporting Headset/Hands-Free/A2DP/AVRCP and a Bluetooth Stereo Dongle supporting only A2DP/AVRCP is OK".

Backup your computer. You may have to replace the HD.
Try repairing disk.

Please anyone tell me how can I change an user username. I need to do that because I have a .dmp with the same username as the one I already have in my database and I need to use the both.

You can just create your new user as required, then do an import with the parameters

plus whatever other parameters you require.
