Not sure what you mean. You can clear the 'Prompt for password when
resuming from standby'
Or, are you just trying to change the user account login name on the Welcome
screen?

If that's the case, go to User Accounts, click on the account that has both
your names and select 'change name'
Just be thankful you didn't have it tattooed somewhere.
