You can't do anything about it, unless the hack was done from or using your machine, i.e. using a keylogger, spyware, etc.

the best way is to contact the people in hi5 portal and give them a small brief of what happened. It is their dutty to correct things on your account (e.g. reset password) but you will also have to chekc your box for signs of illegal access (e.g. rootkit, spyware, trojan, etc. ).

You are not entittled however to respond to this hack , with another hack to restore previous settings on the portal.
