The simple way is to make a new admin, remove admin rights from the first admin, then change the address, then make them admin again. You should have two admin accounts for this reason.

There are topics about adding an admin from the command line [Create Admin Account from Console](https://meta.discourse.org/t/create-admin-account-from-console/17274).

You could also change that admin email address from the rails console.
