I guess you learnt a lesson there. Having a backup is the best thing to do. Even if someone cracks into website you can restore it by backups. In-case of Joomla as most of the information is stored in MYSQL databases i guess backing up databases also a good thing. If you believe that someone changed super admin password go a head with this tutorial http://docs.joomla.org/How_do_you_recover_or_reset_your_admin_password? and make sure after logging in you change your password. I once had a similar issue but there were backups so, the website was back online in 5 mins.
