I would like to change a username, but then I get the message that that is not allowed and I should contact the website administrator. But that is me, I am the first account in my Drupal version. Shouldnt I be allowd to do that or what?

As far as I know you should be able to do this. When logged into my administration user I can change my own as well as other usernames in the system.

What was the exact error message? Are you certain you're user 1? If you access http://yoursite/user does the url change to http://yoursite/user/1?

The exact error message was in dutch but in translation it is: "An illegal choice has been detected. Please contact the site administrator." It also say: Ongeldige keuze in het element Tijdszone which means that the illegal choice was made in the element Timezone.
And I was only removing a space from a username.

If I access www.richel.org/drupal/user I get the message "page not found"

Thank you

Can you try just saving the user properties without changing the username?

I bet it will let you change the username if we can get the timezone problem taken care of.

I can change other fields and save the profile without any problem, as long as I leave the username field alone.

Thanks

I have solved it. The problem was caused by the timezone field, which was red and indicated the wrong timezone. I corrected it and the problem disappeared.

Question is: what changed this timezone. Yesterday I installed Drupal en set the time right. Today I installed several modules, maybe they did some wrong. Thanks anyway Questor.
