Getting old site off the 'net without appropriate files. (to start over with same domain name)

As a complete novice, I'm not even sure how to start this question...but, I have tried everything and I think I have "lost" my website in terms of bringing in back into DW and changing/updating it.  My backup files on my computer have disappeared and the appropriate files through my cPanel to bring it back to in order make changes aren't there.  The website still functions, but it is outdated for my business needs.
So, at this point, my question is this; how can I gain control over the domain and start over from scratch.  I don't want what is out there anymore, but without control through the above mentioned devices, is it even possible to build a new website and get the old one off the 'net as it is and still keep the original www.name.com?
I'm clueless at this point.  Thanks.

Thanks for trying to help.
You will need to sort out the FTP issues because when you have edited your site, you will need to upload it and so FTP details will be required.
Your first port-of-call to sort this out is to contact your host who can reset the password for you so that you can start all over again.  The alternative, is to give your password/login details to Murray (PRIVATELY) so that he can try from his machine.  When this is done, you can always change the password for your own security.
