Loco, since its not a very used forum of mine I don't focus on it too much so sadly I had no recent backups after a bunch of changes, I know

very stupid on my part.
As for logging in, my password for admin is no longer working so it just keeps sending my to the hacked image when I submit. Is there a way to change the password in the database? I use navicat but it looks like it's encrypted.
Extricate, I checked the config files and don't notice anything out of the norm like a username for super admin.
I'm not sure how they obtained access to the site, I've contacted host monster but they weren't of much help in tracking.
Anywhere else I should look? what kind of text out of the ordinary code lines should I look/search for and where?
Thanks
Chris
