  2. So, you need to create a new user with the name master, then you will remove the old one and assign all attributes to the new one.

  3. Let’s create a new user master. Click Add new user button in your Dashboard. Fill in all the required fields. Pay attention that the role of this new user should be administrator:

  4. Click Save button. Check the new user in your list of users.

  5. Now remove the old one admin10. You will need to check “attribute all content to” and select your new user master:
