I have been seeing a lot of forums get messed up because other non-admin people messed it up. Can IF forums get hacked into? I heard that it couldnt but it could only be figured out, the password. Is this correct?

Cracked, not hacked. Cracking is getting someones password but hacking is the modification of a system or file etc.
The only way someone can get into your account is if they can guess your password. To prevent that try using long passwords with plenty of numbers and capital letters.
