I believe the pertinent switches are: -o, --non-unique When used with the -u option, this option allows to change the user ID to a non-unique value. -u, --uid UID The numerical value of the user´s ID. This value must be unique, unless the -o option is used. The value must be non-negative. Values between 0 and 999 are typically reserved for system accounts. Any files which the user owns and which are located in the directory tree rooted at the user´s home directory will have the file user ID changed automatically. Files outside of the user´s home directory must be altered manually. To find the UID of the "primary" account, simply: grep /etc/passwd PRIMARYUSER The usermod command is a safer way of making this change.
