hi –

thanks for getting back so quickly!!

i read that some of those who used this app had some (apparently minor) issues. not sure if i want to run into something unexpected later due to it not being comprehensive, but if nothing else can work, i will prob take the chance.

i did finally find a post on this forum from back 3 years ago that talked about setting up a second administrative account, and then deleting the orig ‘admin’. given, i already do have another administrative account signed up anyway…that would really be the easist.

so, can i just delete the orig user, or would the database encounter errors when trying to access that orig, non-existent admin??? in other words, isn’t my whole account tied to the ‘admin’ profile, and if so, if deleted, would it not make my situation worse?

it also gave an option of a sql command to replace the username. the command line looked easy enough, but i have no idea how to access and ‘talk’ to the sql server, and experimenting on my admin account with unfamiliar tools isn’t very appealing. lol

yes, i’m a wimp–i would like to take the easy way here. yet i don’t want to make things worse in the future just to save some grief now.

thank you for being there for us!

edit — (i’m not well-versed in this stuff, and it takes time to figure out what is being explained since i don’t know a lot of the basics). after yet more reading, i now understand that the plugin does exactly that change to the sql database — it runs an app that will make the change for me. interesting…then i wonder why some of the errors?

anyway…what about changing to another admin–is that better or worse?

thanks!
