    Just visit your Administration > Users > Add New to create a new user.

    If you can’t login review Resetting Your Password.

    to visit Administration > Users > Add New to create a new user. I HAVE TO LOG IN. But main problem is no user name left in the database. In this situation how can I create a user name…?

    Backup your database.

    Then, in your wp-config.php, change the $table_prefix to something different. Then visit yourdomain.com/wp-admin/install.php and let WordPress install a 2nd set of database tables, including an “admin” user, then copy the record from the user table and the records (multiple) from usermeta to your other user and usermeta tables. Then change the $table_prefix back to the original value.
