I have a site that was develop 2 years ago. Today some guy said me that admin access of my site are in free access.
Site was developed by one small webagency. I checked in DB wp_users and saw only one fake user added couple years ago (it seems for testing). I do not see my actual admin acces at this table.
I am not sure how this happend. Where I can find my admin login/passwords? Any search on DB by login name do not give me any results.
WordPress version is 4.5.15

Since you have access to the wp_users table, just modify the username and email directly in the database, then go to the site's forgot password page and reset your password.

1. I cant see my actual username at wp_users. There is only one item made in 2016 2. I am afraid that admin login/password are really in free acces for all internet.

Then you need to reset the password of that existing password to be safe and scan the site for malicious code using sucuri.net
