change default admin user name on F5
Is it possible to change the default admin name on F5? Can someone help me with the steps and precautions before changing the credentials?

mknighted You cannot change the username for the two default users which are "root" and "admin" but you can change the passwords. If you do not want to use the default "admin" user you can create another local administrator level user but you can't disable the admin or the root users. It is possible to lock out the admin user by entering the incorrect password multiple times but that technically doesn't disable it.
