   My index .php file was hacked and replaced with a 'flashing lights with music you have been hacked' page. I dleted it and replaced it with the proper index php file, but now i cant login to my dashboard. When i try it says 'ERROR: Incorrect password. Lost your password?' So i click on lost your password and enter my email address, and it then says "ERROR: There is no user registered with that email address." What??
   I have NO idea what to do, any help gratefully received.

   And when you're done:

   Now, you may need to check in your database to see if you still exist as the admin, or if the account was deleted/edited

   you may just need to change your password for the admin

   You may need to reinstall the core wp files too, to stabalize things..... a lot of that stuff will be in the links I posted
