  Hello,

  My site has been hacked and I’m trying to find a way of logging in and regaining control of the site.

  The site in question is http://www.thinkpassion.net/

  I get “page not found” when I access the usual wp-admin and wp-login pages, so am unable to login here.

  I haven’t used ftp to access the site before but I tried to access it using ftp://thinkpassion.net with my usual login and pass but my ws-ftp client returns “Can’t get “ftp://thinkpassion.net” host entry. Not sure where I am going wrong.

  I’ve tried but I’m stuck, so any assistance as to the way forward would be greatly appreciated.

  Ralf
