I have forgotten my user name for my mac

I have a mac-book pro and I've lost my user name to get into the computer, how can I fix this problem without taking it to our Apple agents who are soooo slow, Thanks

You can get into single user mode using Command+S while booting, then run ls /Users and it should show all the users which will give you a good idea of which one is you.

Open the terminal using Cmd+T and then type ls /users to see a list of all accounts on the Mac.

Open the terminal and type the command:

whoami

This will return your own username.
