    I followed the instructions to help secure WPMU by changing the admin name in MySQL. as suggested i ran this code:

    UPDATE wp_users SET user_login = 'new_username' WHERE user_login = 'admin';

    when I change my name to something else I no longer have access to Site Admin --> Options or site admin privileges with the plugin activations.

    Did I miss something? Thanks for your help.

    While logged in as the original admin, did you add the new username to the list of Site Admins in the options menu?
