Is it ok to rename the admin.php file to for example admin_secret.php ?

I am not very comfortable with the fact that anyone typing my domain www.domain.com/admin.php or www.domain.com/admin ends up at the login part of my shop.
Ofcourse I realise that a hard to guess password is very important as well, but renaming the admin.php file to a different name prevents possible hackers to find the admin section in the first place.

anyone an opinion about this?

This should work:
rename the directory admin/ to a secret name,
rename admin.php in the root directory,
and then edit the secret/index.php accordingly.

Log in to your account and check the password in config/general.php
