Afternoon Nicholas,

After the problems I had with my install prior to your trip, I am now to the point where I'm setting up AT.

When I click on "Super Administrator ID" I get the following screen:

My SA ID is 62, yet AT will not let me change it. Any thoughts on what is going on?

Hi Wayne,

You are using Joomla! 2.5, therefore Admin Tools is looking for an ID of 42 (that's the default SA ID in Joomla! 1.6 and later). Since this is not used, there is nothing for Admin Tools to change. I know, I know, you are using the default SA user of your migrated Joomla! 1.5 site. That's not a problem. Really. All you have to do is make sure that you rename the username (if it's still "admin") to something else.

Thanks for the reply Nicholas,

I saw reports wherein hackers would send random strings to user ID 62 trying to get in. My name is the admin log-in, it keeps it simple for an aged individual ;-), but my password is rated "hard". 'Tis not like I have any financial info on the site, just trying to be careful.
