This is nothing to do with BuddyPress, hackers can just try logging in as admin on your login form and find the same thing.
Number one thing to do when you first install WordPress is to change the admin account to something else. WordPress 3.0 will allow you to change this when you first install.
You can edit the admin username in your database in the wp_users table. Change the user_login and user_nicename value.
Please consider opening a ticket with a patch for new actions to put in the bp-default template, that way you can reduce/remove the template editing step.
@berryblanton Please try deleting and re-downloading 1.2.3 again. There was a small bug with root profiles, but I updated it pretty quickly after putting it on the repo, so it wasn’t worth re-tagging.
Also consider all of the amazing extra functionality you get by using a group as a container.
For example on the new BuddyPress.org forums there is a group called “How-To and Troubleshooting” that replaces the existing plain forum of the same name. By switching this to a group forum I also get:
A dedicated activity stream so users can easily track new topics and replies in chronological order.
A dedicated list of people who have posted to the forum so you can gauge popularity or send out notices to only those who are interested.
Ability to extend and add features like a group blog, where members could post helpful information or even videos on how to fix common problems. Or even a group wiki so specific help documentation could be kept up to date by group members. The list is endless, and the number of group extensions is starting to make groups super powerful.
