    I think it is. Just restore the backup! You could also ask your host for help!

    Well if he left all the files in place then the simple sql backup is enough. If he also deleted all the files then you'll have upload them again. Then you will not have to run the install..

    Ask your host if they have a backup..

    If they don't, then unfortunately you learned a valuable lesson the hard way. I suggest that you perform a backup on a DAILY basis so if something like this happens, you won't lose everything.

    I also recommend that you virus scan your computer to make sure that the "hacker" did not install a key logger on your computer because if they did, they will keep hacking you as they will get your password again.

    Good luck.
