Change someone else's username

I am having people sign up for my site and a few of them have made mistakes in their username and want to change it.
How do I do that as an admin? I've found how to change MY username but I want to change MEMBER usernames.

You could use something like phpMyAdmin to edit it in the database directly, or try this plugin
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wpv ... e-changer/ and see if it works with the WP version you have.

I'll try and figure out phpMyAdmin although I got in there and only saw my name. The plugin only allows me to change my name- not others.

OK, then phpMyAdmin it is. Go to the users table, they'll be under user_login.

When I log in to phpMyAdmin only my admin name shows up. Where is the list of all my subscribers?

When you go to WP Admin -> Users, are they there? If so, they should be in the database. Are you sure you're in the right database?
