I suppose the only way to change it is to go into the Forum_Members table in the database and do it by hand.

Thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe somebody could make a MOD for this, because not all people know how to edit the database!

It's not a good idea to change the Admin username.
The best thing to do is to register with the name you want, then log back in as Admin and change the Member Level of that new user to Administrator.<

Yeah, I must agree here.
I changed the admin password and name in a testforum (by opening the database), it works fine, but I get a choice of setting the admin to another level, so I guess if I did that, I would not be able to access the admin pages at all, right? That must be the only reason for not doing this.
