1) Open the file gsconfig.php
2) change this line
# Change the administrative panel folder name
define ('ADMIN',' NewName');
3) Change the name of the admin folder

Is this reason enough to ban someone? It's kind of weird behavior though. I can't figure out why someone wants to do this, since the question is answered directly in that topic.
