 * Is there a way that wordpress can allow more than 1 user a level of 10? I want
   more than one person to be able to edit the administrator’s posts.

 * Just add a new user, and then once added, use the option of changing the user
   level of the user to “Administrator”. That should work in the WP 2.0 admin, in
   the “Users” Menu under the “Author & Users” subtab.

 * Thanks! Is there any way to do it in wp 1.5?
    Or can I change the username of
   the administrator?

 * Yes, in theory you could use [phpMyAdmin](http://codex.wordpress.org/phpMyAdmin)
   to change the `user_level` field in the `wp_users` table to 10 but it is not 
   really recommended. I can’t remember why it’s not recommended but last year when
   I was messing with two level 10 users, several things did really work right.
