Currently, my forum's directory is set to the default /admin. However I want to change it for security reasons. I have tried just moving the directory, but then I got a MyBB error. Any ideas?

Change the name of your Admin folder. Then edit your config.php and change the name of the admin directory to the name of the folder you just made. Its easy.
