You don't have admin username and pass? Or ftp details? How did you get the site up?

Honestly, THAT is the ONLY way to teach him a lesson. If you hack him or anyone else, he will know it was you and at that point YOU are the one doing the wrong thing and can get into serious shit for it.
I wouldn't suggest doing it.

I'm guessing you didn't have any kind of agreement on a document, did you ?

Nobody here is going to help you hack some site and do not ask such stuff on this forum again!
Second: What does code obfuscation have to do with the vulnerability of a word press page? I don't believe that you made a whole webpage and don't have a local version of the code.
And if WP were to be such an easy hackable platform, it would hardly be the most used blog software on the net 
Captain Hindsight: You shouldn't have given him the files before he payed you.
And if you want valid advice, listen to the people that suggest suing him. Of course if he is in another country you'll most likely not succeed. Especially not if you don't do this professionally and pay taxes for your work etc.

I thought step 1 to stuff like that was to leave a way in for yourself.

Where did I state I wanna hack it? I wrote I want to hak it, not hack it.  Youre just like madmax, when I say nagger, he accuses me of saying nigger and bans. 
Its the sixth site I made for him and I have a backup. I deleted style file and images folder and I was hoping he would pay, but he refused. He restored site through backups most likely. Its the only deal I had with him I didnt have a contract. |

Just go to the police and file a lawsuit against this guy. When the police asks you for contracts and contacts and money and the taxes, ... you say "nah, forget it I just go to a forum and try something else, nevermind..."

Give the guy a break he made a mistake, we all make them at some time or other.
First of all go to a solicitor mate, or (if you have a similar organistation in your country) a citizens advice, you can get free legal advice from them.
As to going to the police? They won't give a toss. A good solicitor or citizens advice is your first port of call.
By the way was it a work related site you developed for him?

Well, the story is long and its hard to explain. So I wont go there. And I wont go for legal advise, cuz I dont need one. My mother is a lawyer so I got support.
I just need to get my money back. But I have a feeling he will give them to me, because I deleted some files from older websites I made and he badly wants them back. He threatens he will sue me, but I think he's bluffing. He says he'll sue me on monday, but I dont give a shit. Incase he will not give me money I need to hak it.
Also I need to prepare for future projects. Does anyone know of a good plugin to remotely control the site?

You can try https://managewp.com
But #1 rule is to never give them the files
Did you charge them 50% up front before any work began? #2 rule.
When a site is done and ready to be viewed/critiqued it's better to do it on your own host. This way you're not giving them a thing and they can still see what's what.
If for some strange reason that they need it on their host, make a bunch of dependencies that link away from where their site resides. So they would host WP, the theme etc, but you could point all the CSS/JS files to your own host, that way if you delete them his site will stop working. That isn't fool proof, but if they're getting someone to do their sites for them, they'd most likely not know how to combat that.
Police won't do shit, it'd (likely, depending on where you live) be a civil matter. Don't take it to court, unless you're 110% sure that you can win, you'll lose, be it the original amount or the court fees.
How much does he owe you? Unless it's thousands, then as above...

Thanks, I'll try this plugin.
Yeah I usually ask for %50. And yeah, I put the files to some free host, but they deleted everything. I dont like moving files there and there, so I like to set up sites on the final host. Yeah, putting images to offsite location is a simple, but good idea. How come I didnt think about it. Im an optimist regarding clients, but I should make my work more secure.
