 * Hello everyone this will be a little wordy, I apologize in advance
 * So I have not been actively using my domain for the past couple years thanks 
   my life not giving me adequate time to maintain a website. I have a single wordpress
   blog installed that has been used by myself.. twice?
 * I just signed into my domain to try and get things going again, when I made a
   unexpected discovery: Crazy amounts of traffic to my wp-login from lots and lots
   of countries that are not the US (where I am).
 * Upon trying to login to my wordpress and see what is going on I discover that
   I cannot login, and I cannot change my password.. Because the ONLY two emails
   that I would have used, are not “registered”.
 * So it appears someone gained access to my wordpress, changed my password AND 
   removed my email and login information so I cannot login.
 * I will end up completely wiping this wordpress from the server as soon as possible,
   but I really want to gain access to find out what has been posted and/or shared
   amongst various European countries from my domain..
 * Odd problem I know. But if anyone has a way to get around login information being
   changed, I would greatly appreciate the help. I can provide proof of domain ownership
   if requested.

 * Do you have access to your actual WordPress database tables? If you do you can
   export the contents of ALL the tables, the export file is usually an SQL file
   i.e. with the extenstion of SQL and can be read by a text editor. Alternatively,
   you can use phpMyAdmin from your hosting panel and look at the contents from 
   the wp_posts table.
