Changing the name of my magic mouse in bluetooth

I connected my Magic Mouse to someone else's computer and now it's labeled as her name and I'm sick of it. How can I change the name back or set it to factory defaults so it picks up my computer's name?

Thanks.

There is a Bluetooth Set-up Assistant which you can find in the tool bar menulet (which identifies your MM by name) under Set Up Bluetooth Device...
Pogue's missing manual seems to be silent on this issue.
