All your php files on that host will be infected so you will need to have your host remove all the code or get a backup copy.
Also you will probably continue to get hacked until you find the backdoor and remove it, check plugins and themes first.

If you dont have a backup copy but (not to put salt on an already open wound) you should have one. But IF you do not, then ask your hosting provider for back up data.

Rewind backwards and think what were the latest stuff you installed on your hosting to prevent from happening again and maybe warn us too.

Hack it back lol
I suggest these steps, because the database should still be intact:
- Make a copy of the actual files, even if it is not worth.
- Make a dump of your database if you can.
- Disable all your plugins and theme by deleting the folders (you have a copy from step 1)
- Download a fresh version of Wordpress and install wordpress from scratch
- Reupload your database.
- Make a backup of the site.
- Reinstall a new theme and redownload the plugins from their sources.

Can you still logon to your host cpanel or control panel? (the majority of decent hosts - including hostgator if you use them, use cpanel) - get onto the host control panel (NOT your Wordpress wp-admin - that is different) - your host has probably quietly been making daily backups (at least database backups - which is 90% of your wordpress site) for you - investigate that asap.

If it is all your sites you need to make sure your computer is clean before you do anything on it. There is a virus/trojan that sucks up all your ftp info from your ftp program and sends that info out.
OK got sucked into another old thread. WTF is going on with all the months or years old threads getting opened back up lately?
