These settings are saved as local browser-based cookies. If you clear
the browser cookies ("reset private data"), then the settings are
discarded and revert to the default values defined by the TWCore.

That should have worked. However, the fact that you see a "syntax
error" message suggests that you have mistakenly added the
"systemConfig" TAG to the SystemSettings tiddler. The "systemConfig"
tag is used to denote plugin-defining tiddlers that contain javascript
code. SystemSettings is *not* a plugin tiddler, and should not have
that tag.

Create a tiddler containing the following line of javascript:
config.options.txtUserName="TheNameYouWant";
Then, tag that tiddler with "systemConfig" (so it will be processed
during startup).
Save-and-reload. During startup, the above line of code is invoked
(but AFTER any browser-based cookie values are read in). As a result,
the hard-coded username text specified in the assignment statement is
applied, and the username is set accordingly.
