    If you give the admin user a good password I can’t imagine brute force working…

    But, you might try this:
    Create a new user (e.g. newadmin) and assign that user the Administrator Role.

    Login as that user.

    Delete the user called admin and assign the posts

    Make sure you give newadmin a good password.

    You can do this in the .htaccess inside your wanted dir

    AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /safe/dir/htpasswd
AuthName "Text displayed in popup"
require valid-user   **//(or - require user NameOfUser - )

    then create an .htpasswd file 

    htpasswd -cb /safe/dir/htpasswd user1 password1
htpasswd -b /safe/dir/htpasswd user2 PaSsWoRd2

    or use online pass generators for .htpasswd

    you have a PLUGIN that does that for you
