I am in the early stages of starting-up my business and I was researching how to change my admin username when I came across your post in a Google search.

I knew you were supposed to delete the default admin, but I didn't know how. The trick I was missing was to log in with the new user account to delete it. Thanks so much for this info.

Adding on to @ Arun Basil Lal with the article, technique # 3 is not explained as detailed as an article I just posted over on http://www.bakermedia.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1061872#post1061872 Which specifically talks about this method. Great article, always love the security articles!

Followed this advice earlier today and made my posting name an author instead of administrator and spent way too long trying to figure out what was wrong with the embeds I was including in a post before remembering that change.
