Yes, it's probably a brute force attempt.
Using "Admin" as admin username is the worst idea you had, all scripts will try it. Don't use captcha is another bad idea. And you also can change your admin directory to a random-named one to avoid tries to log in your ACP.

You can't add it on admin panel. When I talked about captcha, it was for the member login page

Is there any way to find admin panel link if someone want to bruteforce ? Example: I have changed the admin directory name to xxx can he find out the directory name easily or not.

If it's something random (e.g. w8EmHirtS78sRn) then they won't be able to discover it, but if you change it to "admin123" or "panel" they'll be able to find it if they're bothered enough to.
