You can't really change the account to your name, at least not fully -- short user names cannot be changed once set.
Language changes don't take full effect until you log out and back in again (or until you quit all open applications, including the Finder and some system services). If you've done that, and some applications still use the wrong language, they may not have Norwegian localisations. Since you speak English, you should drag "English" into second place in the Languages preference pane. This will force every app that doesn't support Norwegian to use English instead.
Cheers, Ben

Hi David,
The guy who had the iBook for a little while, said he hadn't set any passwords. It seems a bit funny though, because when I look at his account, there are 7 dots, as if he has entered a password. I don't know why it is not just showing a blank field if he didn't enter a password. I am wondering if I, instead of having to load iTunes (which I want to keep) onto another disk and re-install the system, just could have changed his account to my name. There's something else that is odd too though. I changed the language from french which he used, to Norwegian. But when I am trying to quit, I get a window with french language. I have no idea what it means, and since I am not familiar with OS X to begin with, it really doesn't make any sense. Do any of you know how I could get it to change the language all the way through? Or maybe it would be best to just re-install and be sure that everything is OK...
Aase :)
