Disable Admin account

Is there any way to disable the admin user account? We would like to create our own admin account (which we've done) and disable the "admin" username from being able to log in.

You can either remove all roles associated with the user or simply delete the user all together.

I feel bad for asking now. I guess the option for deleting the admin user showed up after restarting the server. At first it wasn't there. Problem solved, thanks.
