IPhone – MacBook Pro question on former owner

iphonemacbook pro

I have a used MacBook. The former user was still the admin so I Googled and followed instructions to remove his password and get myself in as admin. I then deleted his user account.

I just looked at my settings on my iPhone and saw under messages "share with FORMER USERS NAME MacBook"

How do I get his name off of everything? I don't see him at all under user accounts. I don't have any discs, install media, etc.

You need to change the name of the MacBook, not just the user account.

You will find this in System Preferences -> Sharing. The Computer name can then be changed by selecting edit (you may have to unlock, first).
