[Forum] Forum Hacked: Cannot Restore AdminCP

[Pmaurer]

My Forum, Chevelleonline.net/forums was recently hacked. The hacker gained access to my Admin Panel and has locked me out completely. I read the documentation regarding fixing my forums and getting them back to normal. First, I need to get my Admin access back before I can do anything else...the problem is that I cannot get it back. I tried the tools.php option, but got a 500 internal server error when attempting to go to the URL. I have no other way to get into my Admin Panel. Help?!

Check logs for php errors the first.

So you cannot get in from here: http://chevelleonline.net/forums/admincp/

Do you have a back up prior to the hack?

Thanks for all of your help. I found a way to get into the CP. I will attempt to flush out the malicious files.

We should find a way to find this guy... Someone has the number of this software and is punishing us for using it....
