The site is sort of back.  I found an edited table in myPHP .  The blogname had been renamed.  However, the site calendar and other pages are still not loading properly.  My host (Westhost) is performing a restore of the backup but they are taking an eternity.  The site has been down since 2AM  and I am in the middle of running a promotion so this is costing me dearly

Any help is appreciated.

The site is http://www.freetorun.net

First thing to do would be to change your admin passwords (and maybe user names), then change your FTP password, and update any other account you can think of. You might want run spyware scans on your computer to get rid of key loggers. Then delete any affected plugins, and reinstall the only ones you absolutely need.

Here is some info about securing your website:

Hope that helps.

Where do I change the password for wp-admin?  I have searched the dashboard and can not find it.

Thanks!
