$CFG->admin = 'admin'; to another value? Thanks Carol
I've twice had what appear to be robot attacks, where I get lots of failed logins as admin in very quick succession. I have read that a simple tactic to avoid these is changing the admin username. If I do this, do I also need to change
No, $CFG->admin controls the URL used to access what is normally http://example.com/moodle/admin/...
If you want to move the admin pages to a URL like http://example.com/moodle/maintenance/..., then set $CFG->admin = 'maintenance'.

I have a similar question. Recently my admin account was hijacked and I was unable to login to the Administrator's Control Panel. Where do I change my userid so that instead of admin, it is kittycat or some such name? Just in my user profile? I assume that changing my user profile will automatically update the database? From the response here, I also assume that I don't have to make any changes to the config.php?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Yes, just in your user profile. Yes, it will automatically update your database. And, no, you do not have to make any changes to config.php.
Cheers!
