Step1:- Go To root folder than

app/etc/local.xml 

open local.xml file and change below "CDATA[admin]" code.

   <admin>
        <routers>
            <adminhtml>
                <args>
                    <frontName><![CDATA[admin]]></frontName>
                </args>
            </adminhtml>
        </routers>
    </admin>

NOTE:- use only small character.

Step2:- go to var/ folder and delete cache folder. Now open admin with you're new admin name url..

You can do it easier in the backend:

System > Config > Admin > Admin base url(?)

use own admin url
use own admin path

I have only a german magento at the moment, but you find it in the config at the end of the menu on the left side (Admin)
