It is absurd that the username for the Fios Router cannot change from "admin" | Unsafe

[wpw3]

Verizon presents itself at the cutting edge of broadband technology.  Yet my Fios Gateway router does not allo that I change the username from "admin."   It is unsafe and unsecure.  

How can the consumer be sure that Verizon is a reliable steward of our privacy when this most basic security practice is not being enforced to have non-standard usernames?

Agree 100%. This is a well-know vulnerability than even script kiddies can exploit.  VZ should allow changing this to user-defined name and disabiling the admin account unless the router is reset.  This should be standard practice on ALL such devices.
