How do you change the Subsonic admin username from admin to something elses?

This seems to be a huge security issue if a hacker already knows one part of the equation and all they have to do is guess the password.

mind you, that was deleting the admin account after making another with the same privs. but you could also try (if you know sql) to update the name

update user set name = "newadmin" where name = "admin"

but again, do it logged in as a different user with all the admin permissions to be safe. then if it works, you can use newadmin to delete the other account.
