This is "by design". Since most of the time people choose "admin" anyway for user 1, it was an attempt to try and speed up the install process (by having to make less decisions). It should be possible to change the name normally through user/1/edit after the fact, however. Did this confuse you during the install?

Cool, I figured it would be changeable after the fact.

My concern was a security one, I prefer to use something more unique per site to limit attacks against that account, so I usually change it during that process.

If the main audience of pushtape is less technical users, then I guess it makes some sense since more technical people will most likely figure out how to change it.

I guess one alternative possibility would be to autofill it with "admin" but keep the textbox enabled so it can be changed on the fly.

Yeah, I think that makes sense to allow for overriding the default option. Maybe it'd make sense to still grey it out to discourage less technical folks from changing it to something weird (and then forgetting what it was).
