You can also manually change the username and change the password from phpmyadmin. To change the suername simply edit the username field from 'admin' to what ever you want and save it. To change the password in the type box select MD5 and then type in the plan text password you want and click save. This will then hash the password into MD5. This is how all passwords are stored in the phpbb database.

If this joker knew the password for cpanel, ftp or heaven forbid SSH change them all imedeatly. ALso change the username and pass on the database. Password protect the admin/ folder within phpbb aswell. This is double protection. Then they will not only have to have a useraccount with admin priviliages they will also need to know the new username/password for the admin folder.
