Changing Admin
« on: July 30, 2006, 08:53:20 pm »
Hello,

When I setup coppermine I guess I used the name "admin"
Now I want to change it so that when I post comments etc it will say from
Marshall rather than "admin"  I tried to change it on the config panel but it only
lets you change you password.  Anyone know what I need to do to fix this?

Thanks

Option 1: use a third-party tool like phpMyAdmin, browse coppermine's users table and edit the admin name there.
Option 2: create another account named as you see fit and then assign admin permissions to the second account. Afterwards, log out the user named "admin" and log in using the second admin account from now on.

Your choice, depending on your skill level.
