 * Hi, I have just downloaded wordpress through my bluehost hosting guys.
 * wordpress has set the user name to my business email address and my business 
   partner is unhappy about this – she wants a generic user name.
 * in the account profile in wordpress admin section it states that the user ID 
   can not be changed.
 * how do I delete wordpress and start again? we have not added any files ect.
 * thanks!

 * Just create a new account for your business partner only this time do not use
   the email address as the userid. Once that’s done you can delete the old account.
 * If there are any posts, pages, or comments associated with the old userid then
   you will be asked if you want to delete that data or assign it to another userid.
   Select the new userid that you just created and assign that data to the new userid.

 * No, it’s all good. Questions are fine. 😉
 * If you are an administrator on that WordPress site then login to your WordPress
   dashboard and visit the menu on the left **Users -> Add New**
 * `http://your-wordpress-url-here/wp-admin/user-new.php`
 * That way you can add a new user.
