   You fall in Linux Mint login trap. Couple version back LM change the   
   way to install LM. Now there is no warnings about danger to be admin   
   when auto login. If I remember well before, you must made admin and user   
   when you install LM. Now it just continue and install user with sudo   
   authority. If you didn't make auto login your user can't change home   
   name.
