  1. Actually this is too complicated… Simple thing to do would be to do it from your wordpress dashboard.

    1) Create a new user with admin privleges.
    2) Delete admin user and wordpress will automatically ask u to re-assign posts to another author.

    Done!

    Dilip, I was unable to delete the original admin user after creating a new one with admin privileges.

    The lancelhoff tutorial worked great for me.
