Create Wordpress User in phpMyadmin SQL

This simple sql script will create a Wordpress user.

You'll need access to the database via phpMyadmin or another means..

INSERT INTO wp_users (user_login, user_pass, user_nicename, user_email, user_status) VALUES ('username', MD5('password'), 'Firstname Lastname', 'email address', '0');

INSERT INTO wp_usermeta (umeta_id, user_id, meta_key, meta_value) VALUES (NULL, (Select max(id) FROM wp_users), 'wp_capabilities', 'a:1:{s:13:"administrator";s:1:"1";}');

INSERT INTO wp_usermeta (umeta_id, user_id, meta_key, meta_value) VALUES (NULL, (Select max(id) FROM wp_users), 'wp_user_level', '10');

This will give administrator level permissions.
