Set site title & tagline with wp.config or function.php

These fields have the keys 'blogname' and 'blogdescription' respectively in the options table.

I’m not sure exactly why you need to do this as it seems like a priority to secure your site and be able to update it through the dashboard yourself, but you can update them easily from functions.php with update_option, e.g.:

update_option( 'blogname', "site title goes here" );

update_option( 'blogdescription', "site tagline does here" );
