www.palmone.com. Look in the Support section for step-by-step instructions
where you specify the devices.

A couple of relevant URL's would be:

How To: Change or delete your device's User Name
http://kb.palmone.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN [...] CASE=24485


Copying data from one Palm Desktop user profile to another
http://kb.palmone.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN [...] ,CASE=3797

Keep in mind the fact that any third-party applications you may have which
required registration will probably cease to function on a device with a
user name which is not "Bob". Whereas some developers will issue a new
registration code under these circumstances, there are many who will not do
so.
