I'm wondering how I can change my username when logging into my dashboard from "admin" to something of my choosing. I don't like that hackers only have to guess one password in order to break into my site because they know the username is "admin".
I know I've read somewhere that it can be done, but I'm not sure how????
Many thanks!!

Hi
You can't change a username. What you can do is create another user name with Admin privileges. The log out as admin and log in as the new user. Then under Settings / Users, delete the Admin user. It will ask what you want to do with existing posts - transfer them to the new user.
Accomplishes the same as changing the user name.

can't you change 'admin' username in phpmyadmin?
You must log in to post.
