Can users still login with Google OpenID after domain name change?

I changed the domain of an osqa installed on a VPS now I want to create an admin user using Google openId under the new domain.

After installing osqa on a VPS, I made tempdomain.com points to the osqa installation and registered the first user using Google openId. Then I made permdomain.com points to the osqa and tried to register an account, however the account is not admin account.

Currently, if I want to log in as admin, i have to access osqa via tempdomain.com, then log in with Google account. But the tempdomain.com would be used for other purpose. How do I delete the exiting admin and create a new one under the permdomain.com?

admin openid google

@i1der, "change domain names" is not a question. We require every posting at meta.osqa.net to have a title which is a clear, specific question. Please edit this immediately, or this posting may be deleted by a moderator. Thank you.

Google openid, is not a true openid, it generates an hash for each user for each domain, meaning that there's no way to tell if the user is the same when you login through different domains.

What you can do is the following:

Login as your super user, using tempdomain
Go to the profile page of that user, and on the right corner next to the bio box, there is a menu, user tools
Select authentication settings and in that page, either create a password, or add some "true" openid like myopenid
When you switch to the newdomain, you can then login with the new method, and if you wish, add google openid again.

But what is the login name for a Google auth user? I can set the password, but have no idea what the "local" username is.
