Hi!

Using SuSE 10.1. I am the only person using the computer and want to
change the login name and password for su but for the life of me
cannot find anyway to do it through YAST. I am sure I'm missing
something which is simple but what?

Any help appreciated but not too technical, please, as I am a relative
newcomer to Linux.

Regards from New Zealand on a pleasantly warm and sunny Sunday
morning.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
David,

su is root, so login as root and change the password, but please be safe and
don't work as root, always work as a user with only the rights you need.
