As the code is, UID 1 in WP and UID 2 in phpBB are completely excluded.
Be sure that these users are not sharing the same email with some other user, and continue to use as you like (but keep in mind they are not linked).
And/Or just create another admin user in phpBB and WP and that's all.
Or continue to use the UID 1 and 2, but normally, these user's are removed for security reasons, or downgraded to be normal users so to not have an easy target for hackers that maybe try to bruteforce a known admin account. But it is absolutely just a plus, in true the admin account should be secure and protected by other things, and not just the fact that it is not known the admin username.
For what it worth to mention i leaved the one in phpBB (uID 2) to be admin, while the WP uID 1 in WP, is just a subscriber.
axew3 is instead an admin on both, with full (founder) power in phpBB.
