In order to change username it is necesary to be not logged in.

Question

How can I start linux without log in? Even if I start in recovery mode it appears that the user is started.

I have tried in recovery mode but get:

usermod: user username is currently used by process 645

It may be best to create a temporary user to log in with in order to change your original user name. See this post for specific details:
