Database password was changed, whole site inoperable.

Permalink
Someone hacked our database and changed the password, rendering the site inoperative. I restored control over the database, but I need to figure out how to fix Concrete5 to reflect the change. Can anyone lend me a hand?

you should update the db credentials in the config/site.php file. (assuming the changed the database credentials)

If it was just the concrete credentials, then you should be able to go to {yourdomain}/index.php/login and use the password reset field.

all the best... hope you can recover everything quickly and lock things down.
