WordPress MU treats the admin account differently because it's really a WPMU site admin account. Here is a forum thread that explains how to change the admin username in WPMU, but be careful because it requires direct DB record updates: http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/13444 @Bina Good question and this was actually brought up in my Security Presentation.

This post has also prompted me to do a full security maintenance on all 4 of my sites. I'm using a different plugin for limiting login attempts, but I surprisingly didn't have that on one of my popular sites, so I decided to give Login Lockdown a try on that one, since it's good to compare options to make sure you have the best one.
