2) The error message you posted is referencing the NextGen gallery plugin. Disable this plugin by renaming the plugin folder from your Control Panel’s File Manager. This should allow you to log in to WordPress (or at least go past this particular error message).
3) Since you have a (hopefully full) backup, I’ll highly advise you wipe everything and re-build the site from the backup. And, no, if you have proper, full site backup, you wouldn’t need to login to the present hacked website to restore the backup.

]]>I suspect my only option at this point is to reinstall to a backup, but I can’t even access the site anymore and don’t know what to do.
What kind of “backup” do you have? What backup plugin and/or service are you using?
]]>Is there a way to disable a plugin remotely?
I answered your question already. Did you read my first post? Let me quote the relevant portion here for you:
2) The error message you posted is referencing the NextGen gallery plugin. Disable this plugin by renaming the plugin folder from your [hosting] Control Panel’s File Manager. This should allow you to log in to WordPress (or at least go past this particular error message).
If you need to disable ALL plugins, just rename the plugins folder itself.
You can log into your hosting control panel from here and look for File Manager:

If you don’t have or remember the login details, contact Bluehost, the company hosting your website.

PS: Also note the 3rd point in my earlier post. If you have a full backup of your site, you don’t need to be able to login to the current hacked site to be able to restore the good backup. That would defeat the purpose of a backup. That’s why I asked for the kind of backup you have so I could advice how to restore it (without needing to login to the current hacked and broken website at all)… but you chose not to answer that question.
Good luck!

]]>Have you actually read a single thing I’ve written in this thread? Where did I mention FileZilla?
You’re asking for help… but you’re not doing a single thing you’re asked to do.
How can we help you then?
In any case, if your FTP credentials are not working, or if you’re unable to access FTP otherwise (re: FileZilla not working), that’s something you’d have to contact your host for help, as no 3rd-party can help you with that. I asked you to open FILE MANAGER in your hosting control panel (cPanel), not FILEZILLA.
