If you cannot change the admin name, you either do not have the proper permission levels or you are using an old version of WordPress. You can change it in the database. Check the WordPress Codex for details on how to carefully edit the WordPress database.

I created a new account as you had suggested, providing the new user with adminstrative privileges, yet I am unable to delete “admin”.

It really through me for a loop I could not figure out why someone would want to hack
a site that was of no importance. I guess it was the thrill for them to ruin all the
time I had in setting it up. I wish I would have found this site earlier. It would
have saved me from getting wiped out.

I’ve been using the secure wordpress plugin and I have not had any problems since.
Good strong word of advise, Back up regularly
