Only the default main admin account can change their username and pass in the admin area as this is the main admin account.

Other admin accounts don't have the same features and can not change the main admin account pass.

Thanks India.

I've found that other admin accounts can change the main administrator password just by editing the profile of the main administrator and changing the password.

This interests me as well... any administrator can bring up the
default admin profile and change info at will.

I understand it could be argued that you should only give
admin rights to those you can trust... but still it's a pretty big
security issue if you ask me.
