Why does it have to be that hidden? Perhaps it may be seen on grub also (But I would only notice it if I am paying attention).... Microsoft pasters the name of its OS release all over the place... (you see it on Start, CtrlAltDel, system properties...).

run the following command to find out the release:
$ lsb_release -a
ohhh why does the GUI have to suck...

You can use terminal instead.
$ sudo passwd YourNewUsernameHere
