Hello,
 
In my server constantly password brute force attack smatermail default admin  account.
Therefore I decide change user name ie admin  to  smart_admin.  When I was change login detail and save the changes in Settings --> system Administrator  get two system administrator name display with primary administrator rights, how to remove one entries

FYI -  mailConfig.xml file do not have duplicate entries,  Only GUI display two entries
If edit user name to change some other name get duplicate entries
 
Ref  http://portal.smartertools.com/kb/a2739/reset-administrator-username-and-password.aspx?KBSearchID=686504
 
Seems to be SM version 15 bug
 
Thanks

I am also not able to delete these entries either and interestingly they aren't just visual because I was able to log in with them. Will definitely get this fixed, thanks again!

You should be able to fix it by modifying and deleting those entries from the systemAdmins.xml file.

No information found on systemAdmins.xml file. Please have a look at the coding

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<SystemAdmins />

Thanks
