if your concern is only about access to that directory, then it's not a security risk, because without admin rights noone can harm your gallery.

Unfortunately admin path is hard coded you'll need search for admin/ (with trailing slash) in all files and change it there.

You can protect your admin folder with the help of htaccess. Put .htaccess in admin folder and write this in the file:

<limit GET>
deny from all
allow from 193.261.......
</limit>
and replace 193.261....... with your actual ip. This way, only you can access the admin folder. Also you can passord protect admin file from cpanel or htaccess
