  Hi,

  Your website is hosted on 1&1 hosting provider’s server using WordPress.ORG software.
  You have reached the WordPress.COM support forum, here you get help for sites hosted on WordPress.COM.

  WordPress.ORG and WordPress.COM are different, read this to understand the difference: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  You need to contact the admin of your website to help you with changing the username.
  To get support for your WordPress.ORG site you can go to forums at: wordpress.org/support/

  – best,
