change admin user account

[tos]

hey,
is there a way i can change the admin username?

the reason i want to do this is that my -

1. my admin account is - tos
2. main domain - domain.com
3. hence, main email account is tos@domain.com

Now, I want to pop my tos@domain.com account as well as forward it to another email address. I read somewhere on this forum that I can not do that for the "main" account email address.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this?

To change your username, log in to SSH as root:

cd /usr/local/directadmin/scripts
./change_username.sh currentusername newusername

However, you indeed can't change the main e-mail account, it's just always user@domain.com and there's no way of changing it in DA (without digging deep into it and possibly breaking things).
