# Changing the Plesk Administrator Username

Содержание

By default, the Plesk administrator username used to log in to Plesk is `admin`. However, it is a predictable username, one which can easily be guessed and used in brute-force attacks.

To make your Plesk server more secure, besides setting a strong administrator password, you can set a custom administrator username as an additional layer of protection against brute-force attacks.

In this topic, you will learn how to change the default Plesk administrator username.

To change the Plesk administrator username:

1. Log in to Plesk.

2. Перейдите в раздел Мой профиль.

3. Under «Plesk Preferences», change the default `admin` username to a custom one, and then click OK.

   > Примечание

   > To change the Plesk username via the CLI, run the `plesk bin admin --set-login <custom_username>` command.

You now need to use the custom username to log in to Plesk.
