    Your database is created in PhpMyadmin or prabably in your cpanel with the name and password
    Just install Vbulletin again and link it to your old database in the config file

    Try to contact your hosting provider and ask them a favor to check your site.. Btw are you using legal or illegal vbulletin? I heard a lot of websites got hacked using illegal vbulletin board..
