I believe you can upload tools.php from the do_not_upload folder from you installation into your admincp folder, then point your browser to it and change your password with that. (I think....)

edit: I just read this over at vb.com from Steve:
Register a new account on your forums. Upload the tools.php script in the 'do_not_upload' folder of the vB zip file to your Admin CP directory, then run it from your browser. Use this to promote your user to Admin using this option:

[Reset Admin Access]

Then immediately remove this script.

Please see this thread on how to make your vBulletin more secure:

If you are still being hacked after doing all of this, then they are most likely doing this by accessing your server. You need to contact your host about this.
