How to change the instance name?

Hello DBA's

I have installed SQL Server 2005 on a machine with named instance, but later I noticed that I created it with the wrong name than desired. Now I need to change the instace name of the SQL Server that I have installed. How can I do that

Thanks

There is not a supported way to rename an instance. You need to uninstall and then reinstall.
