 * Hello – I am new to WordPress and my download version was put in by the WordPress
   team. I am wondering why my login name is Admin, and should I change it.

 * Well you can’t change the admin login. Add another user with the Administrative
   role and login as that user. Then if you desire, delete the admin user.
