You cannot alter your LoginName: you have to get the administrator to do this for you.

Look in TWikiUsers - if your name is followed by a dash and a word, usually lowercase, this is what you log in with.

e.g.

TWikiGuest - guest - 05 Sep 2004

Would mean that TWikiGuest would log in using the login name 'guest'

If, on the other hand, if your entry is like this:

TWikiGuest - 05 Sep 2004

Then you would log in using your WikiName, in this case 'TWikiGuest'
