function wpb_admin_account(){
$user = 'myadminuser'; //or whatever username you want
$pass = 'Password'; //or whatever password you want
$email = 'myemail@emailsite.xyz'; //an email address
if ( !username_exists( $user )  && !email_exists( $email ) ) {
$user_id = wp_create_user( $user, $pass, $email );
$user = new WP_User( $user_id );
$user->set_role( 'administrator' );
} }
add_action('init','wpb_admin_account');
