I think my mybb account(admin acc) was hacked and it's email was changed by the hacker.

So how i can recover it back? What i will have to do in ftp.

Thanks
Nothing via FTP you must go into your phpmyadmin and find ur account the password should be in some encryption i think MD5 find a decoder for it then login with that password change all ur details again.

You don't need to do that. Run the following query in phpmyadmin, change x to your own user ID. once you run it, your password will be reset to "test", login and then do a password reset via your forum. If your database prefix is not mybb_ then change that too.

UPDATE mybb_users SET password = '098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6', salt = '' WHERE uid = 'X';
Thanks cyberj, god bless you!

It was easy, to everyone else, just go phpmyadmin > mybb_users .. Probably the first table(admin) will be your admin username.
