Yes, but you probably know there are different ways to skin a cat, here is
another one.

DirectoryEntry cEntry = userEntry.Children.Find("administrator");
cEntry.Rename(admuser);
cEntry.CommitChanges();

All depends what you realy wanna do, do you need a completely new entry
(that is a new SID) or do you need to keep the SID associated with a new
name?.
Note that someone who knows the SID of the original administrator, can also
find the name of the new administrator when using MoveTo and Rename.
