Create a new admin user in WordPress via code. Drop this file in the mu-plugins directory and update the variables, then load a page in WordPress to create the user. Remove the file when done.

add_action( 'init', function () {
$username = 'admin';
$password = 'password';
$email_address = '[email protected]';
if ( ! username_exists( $username ) ) {
$user_id = wp_create_user( $username, $password, $email_address );
