Hi there,

Our former administrator has left us so we are trying to delete his account which was "Administrator".

Naturally we cannot delete the Administrator account - or can we? Is there a way to edit the Administrator account?

The built in admin account is hardcoded to always be the admin account and can not be deleted or demoted. If you attempt to delete it from the database you would break your forum.

The best option would be to just change the password on the account and the email address and use the account yourself for administrating the forum.
