A free wordpress video tip to change wordpress “admin” username, both for your post or comment display name, and for the login in admin page.
I am sure most of you guys already know one of many ways to keep your wordpress site secure is to change wordpress admin username. In this video I am going to show you, first, to change your nickname and display name in public comment or posts, then change admin username “admin” in login panel through database.
If you installed wordpress using fantastico or installed wordpress 3, you can change your admin login name with something else while installing wordpress, which is very handy, and i personally did my own. But this tutorial will work with wordpress 3.
Still having admin’s username? no worries, this easy to follow video guide you will be able to edit your login username in database, but it’s also very important to backup your database first. Want to know more how to backup? This video tutorial shows you how to backup quick your wordpress database. 
So choosing another username name for admin, and choosing difficult password is one step to keep “bad intentions” away from your blog. Ever forgot your admin password? if yes, this video might be helpful.
