changed the User and password for my site in wordpress

[ctoveloz]

Today I was trying to get into my wordpress admin panel and was saying that the User does not exist. I tried to send the password to my email and it appeared that nothing existed. I was on the users table of the database and it was my surprise:



the User and the password is changed and there but the email

Can someone explain to me how did this happen? my wordpress is the latest version.
Thanks

probably got hacked ?

This does look like you've been hacked. re-install all of the wordpress files and then to reset the user password, type the password in plain text within phpmyadmin and then select function md5 and your root password will reset for you.

Take the above advice and please make sure your new WP installation is secure.

No matter how big or small your site, you can always be a target of hackers. Even my dog's blog gets hack attempts.
