Great video illustration buddy. Security is one important territory where people pay less importance but its the one which deserves the more attention. The main flaw is that people set passwords so easily that even a kid can break it with couple of combinations. I missed out your first video and I am heading right towards it now 🙂 Waiting for 3 & 4. Thanks heaps!
You are right Benjamin. I would guess a high percentage don’t bother doing much about security.
I hope the other videos are received just as well.

Changing the default “admin” user name sounds like a great idea! All in all for safety, BACK UP your database first!!!
Biodun,
It’s a simple change as well – takes about 3 minutes!
