Good Morning,

I have a troublesome question - I tried to change the Administrator password to ForumAdmin - It says I can't as their already exist a user named ForumAdmin - I did a search on ForumAdmin and no such name exists.
 
Does this seem odd to anyone or am I being paraniod?Cry

its because admin is a reserved word,

and it returns as already existing if the reserved word is entered

Sorry - I am not sure I understand that.  If I can change the administrator name to admin, then why not admin to forum admin? - maybe I don't undertant what you mean by reserved?
