Then you need to create a new account for a different user.
[Edit]
Sorry, my original reply was a bit brief. Your Dad's account was likely an Administrator's account and you should probably create a new Administrator account to replace it. If you then want to delete your Dad's original account you may lose access to any of his documents that you want to keep so you should back those up first.

OK so sorry but it should be pretty easy.
Go into Settings, Accounts and you should be able to change the name of the account.

Either that or create a new account and set that as the default.
