    Just putting this out for anyone who has had their WordPress site hacked by S@D H@CKER ( if so, a screen will display this name in multicolored print at the top instead of your homepage ), I found a way to delete the hacked areas of your site:
    First, navigate to http://www.yoursitename.com/wp-admin ( where yoursitename is the name of your site ) and log in. Then export your WordPress site to an XML file using the Tools>Export function. Next access your site files using your favorite FTP program, and delete all your wordpress files. Your almost done! Now, reinstall wordpress manually by following the instructions here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress, and finally, import your site back by navigating, once again, to http://www.yoursitename.com/wp-admin, go to Tools>Import, and select the saved XML file from wherever you saved it on your computer.

    Hope this helps someone!
