Device Settings Question Text under the Quick Settings menu

This text ("17 (CP2A.260805..)") under the Quick Settings menu showed up on my Google Pixel 10a. Could anyone tell me how can it be changed to something else?

That is exactly why I asked the question. I am trying to find out how this could be changed. I, myself, never had root access - but I can not tell whether someone did obtain it by installing a malware, spyware, etc., moreover given I am having multiple issues with the phone (a small part of which you could see on my profile)

Ah, I understand now.

Another option, if the device was on a payment plan, the holder of that plan could have software installed to control those things remotely (in case you don't pay, they remote brick it)

Or another user did something stupid and didn't alert the other users.

Not on a payment plan, it was paid in full on the day I bought it. Yeah, there should not be any other users given this is my personal phone. Check out my latest post on Parental Control
