Is it not trivial to change a Windows User Profile name. I suggest (very strongly) that you do not bother and leave it alone.
Too late in this case.
Make a Windows bootable USB Key, start with that and try recovering the data you need.
It became as a new user that can't change anything because all data will deleted.
If true then the process I outline above may be your only hope.
If the new user is a member of Administrators, are you able to take ownership of the required data without losing it?
When you have recovered your data, reinstall Windows and restore the data

1In the future, after you recover data: to change user name, in User Accounts CPL, select Change your account name. – DrMoishe Pippik Jan 17 '23 at 20:32
