How do I change my TFS identity?

When I was first getting set up in TFS, my company misspelled my username. They since changed it to the correct spelling, but that change was apparently not reflected in TFS. When I try to check in changes, I get this error:

enter image description here

Is there a way I can change my TFS identity to the one with the correct spelling so I can check stuff in from my machine? Our TFS administrator has looked at it and isn't sure how to fix it.

I am using Visual Studio 2012.

EDIT: I have tried removing and re-mapping my workspace, no luck.

Also, I can check in files in Visual Studio 2010, but it gives me the error in Visual Studio 2012.

Fellow employee fixed it. Here's what he did:

Removed all workspaces, deleted all files, cleared the credential manager, disconnected from TFS, deleted the TFS connection, closed VS, opened VS, created a new connection to TFS, re-downloaded all files.
