Go ahead, laugh. I forgot to remove the default admin/admin account on my blog. SOmebody got in and has replaced my homepage with some internet graffiti. I've used .htaccess to replace the page with a 403 error, but no matter what I do, my wordpress homepage is this hacker thing.

How can I setup my server so that ONLY MYSELF can view it while I'm fixing this via .htaccess?
What steps should I take to eradicate them from my server?
If I delete the ENTIRE website and change all the passwords, is he completely gone?

Thanks.

Use basic authentication to block the site from everyone who doesn't have the login and password (i.e. anyone who is not you).

passwords, is he completely gone?

If you completely uninstall the software, delete everything associated with it (e.g. directories) and re-install it from scratch you should be fine.
