How to fix admin url redirection in wordpress

One of my client website has been hacked, So we are unable to login wordpress using old username and password, Then I have inserted duplicate admin username and password using SQL, But whenever I am trying to login like www.example.com/wp-admin it will automatically redirected to www.example.com/otherfolder/wp-admin and its through 404 error. There is no otherfolder exists in server.

I was updated with latest wordpress then no luck, I looked all the tables like options in phpmyadmin, even htaccess there is no redirection for admin url.

I guess there they might be installed some plugin to do this. Currently I am unable to login wordpress how can I fix this and login into wordpress??

I have cpanel access!

Thanks your time.

If you think there is some plugin which is doing that then go to your wp-content directory and change the name of "plugins" folder as "old__plugins". This will automatically deactivate all your active plugins. If this still won't resolve your issue try searching your functions.php file for the redirection.
If you still don't find anything the then he downloads all your WordPress files and export SQL database and tries to search "otherfolder" in them using any text editor so you will get an idea where exactly that redirection took place.
