Do you mean the name the windows is registered to at install time?

If so, open 'regedit', navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup

Here you should see the two keys showing the data to change. Dbl/click to edit.

Thanks for the response to my original question about samba. This was resolved
by the first suggestion this morning.

touched the file /etc/smbpasswd
added the user david and added the token in smb.config to encrypt passwords = yes

and all works fine.
