You can use Hydra or WPScan.

Either use a cracker to try to break the password or see if the WP site has any vulnerable plugins/themes.

Look to see if there are any vulnerabilities in any plugins that they might be using. If not you can use WPScan to try to launch a dictionary/bruteforce attack against those credentials.

Another scanner you could try is CMSmap. But definitely search for vulnerabilities before trying any brute methods.
