How can I fix the incorrect email address that I entered when configuring Windows 8?

As I was helping my wife with implementation of his new laptop, I entered an incorrect email address, i.e. @yahoo.com, instead of @sbcglobal.net.  Oops. In addition, Windows 8 requires that I have check the installation through this e-mail incorrect addy. I tried to implement a new yahoo.com acct with as user name, but that username is taken and windows 8 won't let me change this erroneous information, so do not let me complete the setting.  Any suggestions?

If you have nothing on the Surface yet you can reset the tablet to the factory again.

Alternatively, you can switch to a local account, which means it tries to log the wrong account for Live ID, and then when you switch to a Microsoft Account usage is more dialogue request your Live ID and the password so that you can enter the right pair.

These two are under the charms, settings, change PC settings. The former under general the latter under users.
