since you said you are not a coder, thought I'd explain just how to do that...

in your config.php file (which for me is in my includes directory) look for the following:

        //      ****** UNDELETABLE / UNALTERABLE USERS ******
        //      The users specified here will not be deletable or alterable from the control panel by any users.
        //      To specify more than one user, separate userids with commas.
$config['SpecialUsers']['undeletableusers'] = '1,2';

if you don't have that last line in there, add it and make sure your userid is in the list (in this case 1 and 2 are both in the list).
