Common sense.
Use a strong password, rename your admin cp, use a reliable host, and always upgrade to the latest version of MyBB.
They're just very basic things, but they will work better than any plugin.

^ it is like just like you rename any folder on your computer . browse to your MyBB installation files folder on the web server
(using FTP program OR webhost panel's file manager) , select admin folder , use mouse right click to see available options
- you should have rename option ...

In ./inc/config.php find:
$config['admin_dir'] = "admin";
Replace with:
$config['admin_dir'] = "newdir";
Where newdir is what you've renamed the admin folder.
$config['admin_dir'] = "admin";
Replace with:
$config['admin_dir'] = "newdir";
Where newdir is what you've renamed the admin folder.

Thanks dear Alan
Dear Alan Shepperson !
I renamed the folder and update the config.php successfully. is these settings can effect in any plugins? means if directory changed, all plugins and function working fine or not?
