change default username

I am running Plesk 9.x in ubuntu with a firewall. The default administrator username is admin. How can this be changed?

I can restrict access to my IP, but it is not static.
 
What is the reason for changing admin username? Basically it is impossible.
 
In this case I suggest you use much more secure Plesk 10.x version where admin's password is encrypted and a lot of other security aspects have been improved.
