What is Admin Account?
During the installation, your Admin account was originally set up along with placeholder information. You can change your user name and password, your first and last name as well as update your email address anytime.
In Magento, there are various levels of approach to the Admin due to roles and permissions. For instance, a designer can only access to the Design tools but cannot have the entry in customer and order information.
