actionparsnip proposed the following answer:
To change your MAC address you can run:

gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces

and add these lines:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.100
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1
   hwaddress ether 01:02:03:04:05:06

obviosly change 01:02:03:04:05:06 to whatever you need as well as the IP
adresses.

as you are using static IP you will also need to run:

gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf

and add the addresses of your DNS servers. You can also use public DNS
servers if you wish if you add these lines to that file:

nameserver 4.2.2.1
nameserver 199.45.32.43
nameserver 64.81.127.2
nameserver 204.117.214.10

And name resolution will take place. Oviously if you know your own DNS
severs you should put those in above the ones I named there.

Not sure about the username and password bit. If you use a usb modem
with a username / password then this may help:
