Change Orbi Login User Name to Something other than 'admin'

Hello, I have an Netgear Orbi Mini AC2200 RBK22. Is there a way to change login user name to something other than 'admin'? Thanks!

No, you can't change the login name. Only the password

A friendly WARNING!!!

If you're fearless and proceeding to change username "admin" to something other than "admin" via telnet, make sure there's a paper clip nearby. The username "admin" is hard-coded in the firmware.
