I'm glad that you all agree to this point. It's a simplest thing and even I wonder that why people don't do this bit for their blog's security. @all – thank you everyone for taking your time to leave the comments.

Most people tend to keep "admin" as account and even as author name, when it is so simple to change it and make the job of hackers a little bit more difficult.For those who do not want to play with mySQL, you can can create a new admin user through the admin panel, and then connect with the newly created user and delete the previous one. That's one of the first things to do with setting up a WordPress blog in my opinion! Good point here !
