Facebook helps you to recover from this here: https://www.facebook.com/hacked

It is that common that the process for recovery is pretty straightforward nowadays.

For the longer term, I recommend you need to consider:
– auto updating for your operating system
– Operating an antivirus program (AVG free is fine)
– Secure your wireless connection with a password
– Antiphishing, antispyware & firewalls are an additional option you can take

Hope this helps. Here’s my blog: http://brisrocket.wordpress.com/

Cheers.

Did you tried above solutions i.e. reporting your hacked account to Facebook ?

A hacker after hacking a account changes these credentials to make the victim’s account unrecoverable and unreachable.
