Mandatory information about my setup:

Have I read the related troubleshooter articles above before posting (which pages?)? Yes
Have I searched the tickets before posting? Yes
Have I read the documentation before posting (which pages?)? Yes
Joomla! version: (1.5.26)
PHP version: (5.2.17)
MySQL version: (5.1.62)
Host: (linux)
Admin Tools version: (2.2.6)

Description of my issue: Changing default Admin ID - I did this using Admn Tools option, so the admin ID is no longer ID=62 (the normal value for Joomla 1.5), but the Admin ID is now ID=42 ... the ID usually associated with Joomla 1.6. Should I be concerned? Otherwise, set-up of Admin Tools went smooth as silk! Great documentation.

Hm, I'd say there is no great reason to worry. Joomla! 1.6+ attacks would normally not work on Joomla! 1.5 due to diffent table layout.
