    change admin name

    Hello,

    New to VB and have a quick question. I had my hosting company set up VB and they put my administrator name as admin. Is there a way to change the admin's name so that it displays my name? I know I can create a new user, but I'd rather just have it all in one name. Thanks.

    Open your user in the Admin CP and type in the new name. Then save the change.

        I am having trouble doing this on VB4. It says the account is protected from being changed. I hope I don't have to make a new account. can anyone tell me how to change my admin username on VB4?
