Change default user "Admin" in Wordpress

By default, "admin" is set as your first account. This is required in order to create your WordPress website and administration panel.

• For Security
• For Professionalism

Software is designed knowing that new websites are created by default using admin. A brute force attack will use this username on newly created websites because it's faster to hack. Some people ask about WordPress security and this little step will bump that security up a level.

Changing is simple and no worries about messing up content ownership, or blog post ownership.

1. Log into your website
2. Go to "Users"
   
3. Click "Add New"
4. Fill out details - Make sure you select "Administrator"
5. Click "Add New User" at the bottom

Now that you created your new user, its time to log out and then log back in with your new user.

After you're logged back in:

1. Go back to "Users"
2. Hover over "Admin" and select "Delete"
3. You will be given a choice to transfer all content.
   (Careful Not To Delete Instead)

((((NOTE))))

--- WordPress won't allow you to use the same email for two accounts. You may have to change your current email address on your profile before creating your new user account. If needed, create a free G-mail account for junk email purposes.

After seeing this question pop up, I thought a nice walk-through would be helpful. It would be wise to do this sooner then later.
