What software/service are you using? I wouldn't think you'd even be able to edit a guestbook in Frontpage.

Temp fix: break the link to your guestbook so no one can see it til you clean up the mess.

Since you're using Eguestbooks.com, I suggest contacting them.

If I were ever to have something like that happen to me, because I host my site on my own server, I would just overwrite the database file with an older one that I have backed up on CD-RW. But if there were any new entries that I wanted to save, I'd just go into administration mode and then delete the offending post(s). Then I'd back up the database file before anyone else could post to it.

My guess is that you don't host your site on your own server... but this is how I would fix the problem if it ever happened to me, anyway.

It says that you can log in and delete messages.. i'd recommend signing into your guestbook account on that site, and having a poke around..
