Seller installed XP Home using my name

[Jouni]

I bought a used PC. A kind person who sold me the PC installed XP Home to it
using my name "automatically". The problem is that there shouldn't be my
name, the computer comes to a friend of mine. I just bought the cheap PC via
an internet auction.

So, possibly during installation XP asks the owner's name (I still use Win
98, I don't know). Is it possible to rename the XP owner's name afterwards?
I don't have any installation disks, just some sort of an XP recovery disk.

with regards
