Rename admin folder to newname and put this name in config.php:
#Name of the admin directory
$config['admin_dir'] = 'newname';

Quoting http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php ... mall_Guide
    *  Rename admin directory with a fake name (e.g. "admin39xRlklkLK3d"). Don’t use a name easy to guess. Remember to change also /config.php with your new name $config['admin_dir'] ="admin39xRlklkLK3d"
    * Protect admin directory with a password.
