changing admin username bombs

I changed the admin user name to my user name, but that invalidated the login password. I had to change the username back to 'admin' in SQL server to be able to log back into the system.

[sorry for the double post. i didn't register the first time, but i wanted to get email replies since we are evaluating dragnet. looking great so far!]

This is a known issue that will be fixed in the next release. When you change any user's login name, you should also change the password. The next version will force you to do this to prevent these errors.

We do not recommend changing the Admin user name because that causes other issues. The admin user name will no longer be editable in the next version.
