Unable to change my "sign in name" (Anmeldenamen)

I am unable to change my name, which is shown when for example i leave a comment. It is in a grey field, which i can't change. I made an account, i was in the settings (identity), but i am not able to change this name. I uninstalled it, i rebooted, but nothing helped to solve the problem.

 

Es ist nicht möglich den Anmeldenamen zu ändern, den Namen den man sieht, wenn ich zum Beispiel ein Kommentar einfüge.. Dieser bleibt in einem grauen Feld, dass ich nicht verändern kann. Ich habe einen Account gemacht. Ja ich war in den Einstellungen bei Identität, aber das Feld mit "Anmeldename" bleibt grau unterlegt und nicht veränderbar. Ich habe es schon deinstalliert, neugestartet, aber nichts hilft.
