You can just alter your view. Goto View > Administration: Users > Edit. Then In the FILTER CRITERIA > Add > User: Roles. In Operator select Is none of and select the role you want to hide(administrator) hit apply and save. Done!

Bonus: Also you can hide this user role from registration from(Add new user) by creating hook_form_alter() in your custom module. Something like this:

/**
 * Implements hook_form_alter().
 */
function MyModule_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
    //to get the current user role
    global $user;
    $user_roles = $user->roles;

    //use devel to find the user role, which you wish to hide
    //dsm($form);

    switch ($form_id) {
        case 'user_register_form':
            if (!in_array('administrator', $user_roles)) { // hide this only if the current user role is not administrator
                unset($form['account']['roles']['#options'][3]);
            }
        break;
    }
}

This will hide the administrator role when you creating new user. You should follow the same way to hide this from user edit form as well.

Use Views to replicate the Users list and set a Filter on "Nid != [hidden user's ID]".

Try http://drupal.org/project/userprotect.

It is a generic problem that the administer users permission is very problematic and gives too many privileges.
