[drupal-support] Help to create a "special" user

[Cheryl Chase]

There's no way to do this without modifying the core code. If you  
want to go that route, it's in user.module.

However, you have complete control over the permissions for people  
who are not logged in (role "anonymous"). Why not just use that?

Alternatively, you could use .htaccess to deny access to the site to  
anyone who doesn't have the username and password that you have  
assigned. They won't be able to edit the password, and you won't have  
to modify durpal core code. A simple google search ("htaccess  
tutorial") produces the following page, which should get you going:
