   Thanks Josh, but all I need is for someone from WordPress to reset my password and username and email them to me.
   That's it...

   BUT HOW DO I DO THIS?

   The only thing the hacker has done is take my username and password.

   How can wordpress reset this information? Isn't is something you create when you install wordpress onto your server? Can you go into your database and change your username?

   try the emergency password reset script to get control of your password back http://codex.wordpress.org/Resetting_Your_Password#Using_the_Emergency_Password_Reset_Script

   The hacker may still be able to gain access though, so you will still need to refer to the links I posted above to clean up the vulnerabilities of your site and remove any back doors the hacker may have added.

   Hi guys

   Another part I need filling in please.

   I have now gained access to the Dashboard (by following the steps above). I've reset the password and can get into the backend of WP.
   I can get access to all files and editor

   BUT .... when i go to http://www.marketingworld.com.au/blog/ I still get the hacked page. How do i overcome this?

   Thanks again

   Did you get a chance to read any of this?

   http://smackdown.blogsblogsblogs.com/2008/06/24/how-to-completely-clean-your-hacked-wordpress-installation/

   ...specifically steps 3,4, and 5?

   Or this? http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_My_site_was_hacked
   
   "Replace the core WordPress files with ones from a freshly downloaded zip. Replacing all your core files will ensure that they are no longer left in a hacked state. If you didn't already restore backup copies of your plugin and theme files, replace them too."
