 * If I were to change the default admin name in the database will it effect anything
   other than the login?

 * I changed mine via PHPMYADMIN and have had no problems at all. The change even
   worked with linked bbPress forum.

 * I always just add a new admin with my desired username/password and delete the
   default admin account.
    Never considered the database way of doing it. guess 
   it is faster/easier though.
