The best way is to wipe your site clean. Erase everything. Then upload it all again, if you made a backup.

 

If not then just erase everything and reinstall.

 

Consider installing in a protected directory so that only you can access it. Then, install all the security patches that prevent hackers from killing your shop. Then, after they are all installed you can remove the password protection on your site.

And I would have suggested cleaning first if the site was a production site. From my read of his post he was in the installation and configuration stage and had not yet installed any security. Why try to clean that? The shop is virtually empty.

 

Sometimes you have to decide how long it will take to clean vs how long to wipe and restore...
