I realise there is probably a simple answer to this, but can someone please tell me how I change the login username and password to access the administration side to one I will remember

To change the password just enter the admin email in http://yourdomain.com/userforgot.php
Not sure about username though.

Actually i just had a look. Login to administration and goto users > manage users. Find the admin user and open it. You should be able to change the user name there.

Just create a new user in the admin and mark it as an admin. Then you can use the new admin user account.

If you do Mikes suggestion don't forget to tick the boxes giving the specific administration capabilities that the admin can carry out. This allows you to effectively set up other administrators but control individual things they can do.

I think what Nicks said also works perfectly fine from memory but it makes no harm to set up another administrator.
