Can I change default username (admin)?

Is there a way to change the Administrator username from "admin" to something else? (This is a 7800N.)

You can try making a backup of your config, make a copy of this config just in case, then edit the original config and change the 'admin' password, save the file and restore the file.

If something goes wrong, restore the copy of your config file

Thanks for your reply. This might work, but I was really wondering if there was an "official" method of doing this which I'd overlooked. Seemingly not. Evidently Billion doesn't think that changing the user name offers appreciable increase in security.

Unfortunately you can't change the username from admin any other way

When I save the file it doesn't seem to remember the new password. It's like it keeps getting overwritten.
