Consequences of renaming the 'admin' user?

Or, alternatively, should I just downgrade the privileges for the admin user and create a different administrative user? Thanks!

It's the sort of thing to try before anything matters. :) I guess, too, if you "downgrade" the first account, you want to have created the second, fully-privileged admin user first. Of course! :) Hope that helps!
