Hardening WordPress

File permissons done, a secure MySQL user\pass, all nicely up-to-date… just need to rename the admin account… mmm, how you do that now? I’ve got no phpmyadmin… sigh.

Thank you google – http://codex.wordpress.org/Hardening_WordPress

mysql -h dbaddress -u dbuser -p dbname
dbpassword

update wp_users set user_login='newuser' where user_login='admin';

Ofcource you’ll want to replace newuser and the table prefix, wp, with yours. Another thing to tick off my list.
