Could you please explain what you mean with "admin account" in this specific case?
was it an account on your site, or is it a server account to access your files by ftp or even access your control panel of your site?

and how did you know someone used this admin account about 100 times during your absence? which log files etc?

If it's FTP, put a password on it, and make the user name more obscure.
