To change the username in phpBB, you can follow these steps:

1. Log in to your phpBB forum as an administrator.
2. Go to the "Users and Groups" section of the Administration Control Panel.
3. Click on "Manage Users."
4. Find the user whose username you want to change and click on their name or the "Edit" button next to their name.
5. Change the "Username" field to the desired new username.
6. Click on "Submit" to save the changes.

Note: Depending on your version of phpBB and your server settings, changing the username may also change the user's URL, which may break any links pointing to the user's profile.

These instructions are correct, and it is advisable to notify the affected user before making any changes to their username to ensure they are aware of the modification. Remember to communicate any potential impacts, such as URL changes, to the user. It is also important to have appropriate permissions as an administrator to carry out these changes in phpBB.
