Use your database tool, such as phpMyAdmin, and browse to the users table.  Find your own entry, it should be ID 1, and change it there.

Back up first, in case it goes wrong.

if it's just a cosmetic issue (you can log in, but you don't like the admin name because it has a spelling error or similar), just log in as admin, create a new user and add him to the admin group. Then log out, log in as "new admin", check that everything works fine and then delete the "old" admin.
