1. download file maxusername30.zip from bottom of this post,
2. unzip and put maxusername30.php file in root of your myBB in FTP (the same folder where is global.php file)
3. visit your site but instead of index.php type maxusername30.php (eg. www.yoursite.com/maxusername30.php)
4. delete maxusername30.php file from FTP
5. your max username is set now to 30

maxusername30.php file contents are :

<?php
	define("IN_MYBB", 1);
	require_once "./global.php";
	$db->query('UPDATE '.TABLE_PREFIX.'settings maxnamelength SET value=30');
	echo 'max user name lenght has been set to 30. Please delete <b>maxusername30.php</b> file now.';
?>
