Yes, you can safely ignore it, especially if your site has no “admin” user. The brute-force attack will never accomplish anything. I also use Limit Login Attempts – mainly for this very purpose. It lets me know when manual brute-force attempts are being made on my back-end login. (Last time I bothered to WHOIS the IP, the attack was coming from Russia, FWIW.)
Short of blocking the IP address, there is little you can do to prevent brute-force attempts. If they get to be bothersome, just increase the lockout duration.
