  I need to remove the original admin user on my blog, but it won’t let me. I can use the original admin to remove the new one but not vice versa. Both accounts are mine and I didn’t know about the option to change usernames at the time.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Here’s how to transfer ownership of a WPcom site from one WPcom account/user to another: http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-wordpress-com-user-or-account

  Once you’ve transferred ownership to the second admin account, you should be able to remove the first admin account.
