You can not change your username at this time. You will need to create a new account. If you are the Creator, make your new account first, then, make it Administrator rank, then cancel your other account. Sign into the Admin account, and you can still do what a Creator can do, except, you can be banned by other Administrators. Do you find this valuable?

Sorry to be a pest, but how do I make my new account Administrator rank? Do you find this valuable?

Go to your new account on your Creator account and click Change Permission and select Administrator. Do you find this valuable?

To change your user name is easily done by changing your email address on your present user name to something fictitious like obama2012@yahoo.com. This will allow you to create a new user name with your real email address. Join your wiki with the New user name. After joining your wiki there will be two of you there. Old user name and New user name. Sign in with your Old user name and go to the profile of your New user name and select permissions. Make the New user name an Administrator. Sign out and sign in with your Old user name and under email and preferences check the option not to have your user name in site reports. This will not display the old user name and you will still be creator under that username.

Keep in mind that your teacher will be still able to look at any threads and page histories that the Old user name made.
