Multiple Admin IDs

Hi guys. We're in the process of cleaning some things up on the site and noticed that I have two Simplepress admin accounts. One is ID #421 and that's the same ID as my Wordpress account and then there is ID #1.

There is no ID #1 on the Simplepress User list or on the Wordpress User list.

Is there a way to delete that ID 1 User from the database? Or do we need it there for any reason?

Thanks.

Well #1 would be the original one that WordPress created when you first installed it with a user name of 'admin'. So either that ID or your replacement ID was then used to install Simple:Press but it would have had to have been at a time when the #1 account still existed or it would not have created an entry in the sfmembers table.

The real question is how was the old WP #1 account deleted as any standard mechanism for doing so would have removed it from the forum tables as well.

But the bottom line - if you are really not using that account - is that yes - it serves no purpose and can be removed.
