    No, if you have changed the password he will not be able to. If he creates a user with root privileges on the server, he will be able to even if you change the password.

    Which user's details did you provide ? Was it the root OR administrator user ?

    He could have backdoored your system. You will need to hire someone to fix the issue.

    We have some scripts at http://solidshellsecurity.com which could help.

    Having the server scanned is the best option I will recommend. Ask your server provider & they will have a check for you as well.
