When I am writing a page/post, a little box at the bottom says "Page Author". There is no way of turning it off and I cannot select myself as the author, so I always end up making another author the 'author' of the post.
Note: I know this is not a plugin because I deactivated all of the plugins and the box is still there.
This is one avenue that usually fixes that problem:
1.Create new admin user (e.g. newadmin) with Administrator Role
2.Login as 'newadmin'
3.Degrade the old 'admin' user to Role of Subscriber and Save
4.Promote the old 'admin' back to Administrator Role and Save
5.Login as the old 'admin'
If that doesn't work try:
1.Create a new admin user (e.g. newadmin) with Administrator Role
2.Login as 'newadmin'
3.Delete the old 'admin' user and assign any posts to 'newadmin'
4. Create 'admin' user with Administrator Role
5. Login as 'admin'
6. Delete 'newadmin' user and assign posts to 'admin'
