 >  This majorly impacts people who use the username Admin. Unfortunately,
 too many people use the default username. Maybe In 3.5.2 when the person
 logs in, you could check to see if the username is admin and if it is,
 then let them reset it?  I'll work on a patch later, if someone doesn't
 beat me to it.

 Not sure how it "majorly impacts" people already using the 'admin'
 username. It's a suggestion to leave the username field blank during
 installation, rather than populating it with 'admin'.

 Checking if someone's already using the 'admin' username, and allowing
 them to change it, is outside the scope of this ticket. Changing usernames
 is specifically addressed in #14644
