Can't Re-set Password

My site was hacked and the texpattern login info was changed. I can not recover the password through e-mail as it seems to be changed. What can i do? Please help!

Re: Can't Re-set Password

In phpMyAdmin

 update txp_users set pass=password(lower('pass')) where name='user';

If your site is atlasprint you have to check it out as now it is reported as an attack place. As such you have to write to your host.

You should

change all passwords including that of your ftp databases etc
re-upload all your txp files
if you are not using the latest version of txp, it is now time to update

> Edited to add that you should poke in phpMyadmin to check where the email is stored (maybe someone here will give more help on this) and change it back to yours.

I got the site fixed by my host. Still not sure how to recover text-pattern log-in info.

Check out Jonathan’s or my suggestions above. If you use Jonathan’s which is less scary we can guide you through it if there is a problem
