Change admin username using phpMyAdmin
Wordpress doesn’t allow you to change your username by default, so you have to use “admin” as your username on your blog. However it is possible to change it. If you don’t want to use any plugin for it, follow this small tutorial. I show how to change admin username on Wordpress, using phpmyadmin. It’s quite simple and fast.
First log in to your phpmyadmin. Choose your wordpress database and find table called wp_users. All the data about your users, is stored in this table, so be careful 
Now click on “Browse” button:
Than find yourself on the list. By usually you must be on the the top of the list, with the ID 1 and user_login - admin. Click on the edit button 
for this record. Now type your new username in the second field:
Click “Go” when you’re done. That’s it. You can also change any user username in this way.
