The server I use was hacked. They managed to get in and override my username. I need to change it ASAP or this will go on forever. Please help! Thanks

The most reliable way to do this would be to reset your password directly in the database.

And don’t forget to change all your passwords once you’ve regained control f your site! This includes any SSH/FTP passwords, your database password, and of course your WordPress user password.
