  Hi there,

  That screen shot you provided is for the master bar on the dashboard of a self-hosted site. Your username on a self-hosted site is independent of your username on WordPress.com.

  If you just want to change the name that shows in the master bar, go to Users ->Your Profile in the WP-Admin dashboard and change the Nickname and Public Display Name.

  If you want to change the username you use for logging into that site, you need to use one of the methods here:

  For more help with this, please post in the self-hosted WordPress.org forums, as this forum is only for WordPress.com sites.
