 * Hi all I did a dumb thing I took over looking after my friends website 12 months
   ago it has been going great but in the weekend i was looking at the uses and 
   I saw the old Administrator’s name and said I dont need you any more and deleted
   him but 2 important files went with him the company’s logo and the sites back
   ground photo. So i went to my cpanel and restored last weeks back files but it
   didn’t work and the site was really broken because i could not enter the customizing
   part of the theme or any other them plus view my products or anything. So i went
   and talked to my site host online help . But the only thing he could do was restore
   my site to April last year but this is a shop we have lost so much important 
   data. I do have a downloaded backup on my computer for last week but not sure
   this well work and how to go about it can anyone help please and advise me what
   to do next if anything ?

 * Try to restore your backup first, then with regards to Administrator account,
   go dig into your database again. For more detailed How-to, Follow the step-by-
