Yeah, once you add a sticky note. Alt+Click on the sticky and hit Properties. Under the General Tab put your name in Author and then at the bottom check the Make Properties Default.

When I check the Make Properties Default option, it only changes the name for that comments and goes back to the one I don't want for the next comment. Help!

I have the same problem. Did you find a solution?

After you've right-clicked and changed the name, check the box that says "Make Properties Default." That did it for me.

THANK YOU! I inserted a sticky note, did a Right Click, clicked on Properties, clicked on the General Tab, updated my "Author Name" and put a check mark in the Make Properties Default box. I clicked on OK, and that changed the name that appears on my comments and any other notation that I mark in the PDF. THANK YOU for providing this shortcut (I'd just spent a full 30 minutes trying to figure that out using the "Manage Account" option in Adobe. I have Adobe Reader DC, Windows 10. THANK YOU!!!!!

In Acrobat Pro, if you go into Preferences and then Commenting, under the Making Comments section at the bottom, you can uncheck "Always use Log-in Name for Author Name".

I have this problem too.
I use a personal laptop for work, but somehow, my son's name appears as the login, and I can't seem to change it, nor have I figured out where or how this was 'set' originally.
Changing the author's name is easy, but changing or resetting the login name is the issue.

That is not a useful reply. I suggest Adobe to make chages that this is done. I don't want the name to appear as 'Admin'

I had the same problem today and ended up calling Adobe support. The answer is, this is a MICROSOFT LOGIN NAME, not Adobe. You CANNOT change it through Adobe at all. Acrobat just reads this information from your Windows settings.
Solution Two solved my problem.
Can anyone from the Mac world confirm that this is a windows-only problem please?
