Comment(by dd32):

 > but what if someone deletes all the administrators or gets locked out of
 all the administrator accounts some how?

 Then re-installing shouldnt be the way they go about it.. Instead, They
 should be reseting the users password via the forgotten-password link or
 manually inserting a md5 into the users table via phpmyadmin.

 > I'll wait for #10201 to be patched and check for any administrator
 roles.
 That sounds like the best method of attack to me. - Either that.. or add a
 if ( user_exists('admin') ) $username = 'admin'; for now with a new
 blocker ticket created to move that from check for admin user, to check
 for administrator roled users..
