No... What's wrong is that I was hacked the hacker then de-modded me, and my co-admin, then de-modded himself, leaving me helpless.

SMF might can restore the main admin on the account. Since you dont have any posts on your fourm, I would recommend just chucking that one and making a new one. If the person that did this is someone you gave admin access to, you need to be careful who you give admin access to - as it can come back to haunt you.

I can see that your logged (and appear to be logged in as admin since your screenname is in red)but if this person took away your admin access, unfortunately, there is really nothing that anyone can do, but SMF . You will just have to wait until he comes online and sees your post. Once SMF is able to restore your admin access, I would highly recommend banning the person that did this by host name and taking extra measures to screen the people you give that access to.

The only person I will trust is my school mate. He actually is going to host my forum and his site so I can use his FTP to further add to the forum. Once I get my Adminship back I'll be good as new.

You will have to signup for a new account on the forum not sure what they did your main account says it is an admin account and then I can make that account an admin.
