ID 1 did not change when the "admin" username changed. Still have the warning.

    So I had the username “admin”. I used this awesome plugin to change the username, and it did. However I am still getting the red message ” user with id 1 still exists. Click here to change user 1’s ID.” I click it and there’s nothing to do there because I’ve already changed the username. Is my ID already changed and the plugin isn’t picking it up, or did changing the name through the plugin NOT affect the user ID as well?

    I’m on multisite and the plugin is network enabled. My “admin” ID 1 account is superadmin over the entire network. Maybe if I set it up on the site itself it would change the ID? It would probably be better for my install if I set it in database manually before I did that, but I wonder if that will break anything?
