How to change social media apps tag-names or reference-name

We have a user that created accounts in Tweeter, Facebook, Instagram. Linkedln and Pinterest some time ago but never used it.  Just this week the user wants to start but noticed that wants to change each tags (or reference name like @sample_name) per apps, and the email used to create it.  

What's the best way to go about it?

Really? I thought that these social networks I had to re-create an account in order to have tag names etc. (and lose the previous account)  

... So none of these networks (Tweeter, Facebook, Instagram, Linkedln and Pinterest) I have to re-create an entirely new account?

Not from my experience. We recently did a LI company page rebrand with no problems, also done the same with Twitter. Facebook you may have to create a new page and merge it with the old.

Thank you.  

What about Instagram, Linkedln and Pinterest, any experience within this process of re-branding & changes?
LinkedIn you can, I'm not so sure about Instagram and Pinterest. It would be a matter of trying to see if it works

Good enough.

I am assumimg that Instagram and Pinterest  there is some support option (email or forum) to make this question; do you know of it?
I'm sorry I don't
