You can either manually edit /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow and /etc/group or
create a new user and simply make the old homedir the homedir of the new
user (you can rename it of course). In both cases make sure the user is
not logged in. If the username is listed in the sudoers file (or any
other administrative file), you will need to change that too.
