Possible to have all computers used have the same host ID?

I try to help family members with their Social Websights like facebook and If I try to log in with their credentials I get the error of password incorrect, user not found etcetera.

Is there a way I can change how my computer ID's it's self so I go to their account and make changes. How to people log into their accounts at work ,etcetera?

Thanks for your expertise!

Facebook doesn't require you to login from the same host and browser every time but it does detect when it sees a change and may challenge you to prove you're really the person in question. It detects based on both IP and browser so I doubt having all the systems with the same name is going to help unless they all originate from the same IP and use the same browser. Even then FB may detect based on cookies for all I know - I delete cookies and all history every time I login myself.
