Not only *can* it be renamed- it *should* be renamed. It squares the size
of the probem-space for anyone trying to hack your machine.

Of course, make sure *you* can remember it.....

The best way to remember passwords I've found is to make them out of a
phrase- easy to remember, but hard to guess, e.g.

Water=H20

Note it also has the recommended mix of upper and lower case letters,
numbers and specials.
