Ah.

I'm afraid, good as WMI is, it's not that good. You need to
invoke the right method on the Win32_ComputerSystem instance.

The appropriate method is referenced here:

There are some examples here:

and the (definitely untested) Python equivalent is something
like this:

<code>
import wmi

c = wmi.WMI ()
for system in c.Win32_ComputerSystem ():
   system.Rename ("NEW-NAME", "TIM", "PASSWORD")

</code>
