If you are unable to login to your WordPress site, then there is a chance that hackers may have compromised your admin account from WordPress.

One of the most used approaches for a hacker is to lock out others, who can undo the unwanted access. Deleting all admin users mostly prevents a fast and swift response. Since the old admin accounts don’t exist anymore, nobody would be able to log in or reset a password from the login page.
Another well-known approach is to change the admin email and password. With this, you would not be able to log in or reset your password from the login page.
To add insult to the frustration, there is a tactic, that is extremely annoying. Redirecting a login attempt or even preventing the opening of the login page confuses a less technical person. Being unable to understand, that normal login is willingly prohibited makes losing valuable time to remediate the main issue.
