what exactly you want to achieve?
renaming wp-admin woun’t be advisable because that is default setting of wordpress and for changing it you will have to do a number of changes which will be lost when new update for wordpress is available.

Actually I want to hide the fact that I’m using wordpress to avoid wordpress hackers as possible … I know it’s not easy to do that but I’m asking if there’s a guaranteed way to do it without needing to do it again on each wordpress update..
Thanks

How can I rename the “wp-admin” URL without any problem 🙂
You can’t.

Wow, good coffee. 😉
If you try and renamed that wp-admin directory you will break your installation in terrifying ways that are too horrible to contemplate. Really, it is a Very, Very Bad Idea™ it’s not supported and see “terrifying” comment above.
On the Bad Idea™ scale of 1 to 10 it’s about a 1 billion.

If you want to harden your installation then there are ways to safely do that. See this article.

There are also security plugins too.

Except for Jetpack’s Brute Protect I myself don’t use any of them. I only use Jetpack’s option because I’m a fan of data collection projects. 😉
