Try IP banning 'em and then deleting 'em. Then change the person who got a name change's name back to what it was before.

As MrMario has said, the forum utilites will be usefull, i too reconmend a full restoration, to the date that the so-called "hacker" got into ur forum. (dont tell me the user names is Canope/)
And yes, it would remove any topics and posts, also any data u put onto the forum after the chosen back up date, but that cannot be changed unfortunately.
