new admin username?

Is it possible to change the admin username? I have a certain username being used for my CMS but I think it would be wiser to not have it at all because of where else the username has been used. Is there any way to remove or rename that "user"? Its the default (original) admin and doesn't have the delete button that all other users have.
Thanks!

that will change the password but what I want to change is the username itself.
Unless I missed something?

it changes it to default admin, have you gone here to change it Users & Groups » Users » Edit User » My Prefs » My Account: "one you want to change" when i used the afore mentioned method because i had too many sites and forgot the login password, once i logged in with the reset adminname/password i went to Users & Groups » Users » Edit User » My Prefs » My Account: "one you want to change" and changed the name to another and the 'password' to another

I have written a few posts under my username: theuniscc
Have installed latest 3 versions, ons after the other, and reinstalled, followed all leads from posts as what to do but no luck to login to the Admin.
Maybe search my posts, approx 12, I posted my phpinfo and all other data asked.
Maybe someone is missing something, I am for sure also.
