Additional Resources:
I would recommend closing the door to other people entering your site untill you’ve resolved the issue. take notes of your dns records, then delete them. and add your site into your computers hosts page so you are the only one who has access to your site.
Then resolve it and put back the dns records.
This may or may not prevent further damage, but it’s worth a try! 😉
Good luck!Medlars
Im new to this my website was set up by others
HI cannot even get to the wp-admin page to change anythingNone of the suggestions in the links posted above require you to login to your site.
I cannot change my password for example or enter any code without being able to log in…is this correct?
So the hack site has control of my wiz-admin page?.
How can I get rid if them?.I cannot change my password for example or enter any code without being able to log in…is this correct?
That is not correct. All of your files are accessible through ftp, as well as with the file manager located in your hosts control panel.
Your password can also be changed by using the database admin tools located in your hosting account control panel – probably phpMyAdmin.

Thanks but I’m a complete thickie!! What’s FTP how do I get it and what/how do I use phpmyadmin
I am sorry for my dumbness I need to learn!!“There are two ways of getting files onto your site, and once there, changing them.
1. By using the file manager provided in your host’s control panel. Popular file managers: cPanel, DirectAdmin, Plesk
2. By using an FTP or SFTP client. This guide will show you how to use FileZilla. “

You can also spend some time reviewing the FAQ and getting started guides provided by your hosting service.
These links go to Google:
The file manager in my windows 8 dosen’t exist
The file manager is a tool found in the control panel located in your hosting account, not your local computer.
Please spend some time reviewing the FAQ and getting started guides provided by your hosting provider. Their support group, user knowledge base, and FAQ documents should be able to provide all the guides and tutorials you need to learn how to use file transfer tools (ftp), as well as the database and website management tools they make available to you.
The hosting provider being WordPress?
No. wordpress.org does not host your site. Your hosts are the people you are paying each month or year for hosting space.
