where did you get 4.5._26_ ????
I assume this version is not secure in any way.

as nobody knows your exact configuration [¹] there can't be a foolproof 
upgrade.

if you need some help try http://pi-phi.de/292.html
or http://pi-phi.de/241.html (with adaption to the neccessary steps as 
above)

otherwise there is an extension to update typo3-core:
http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/dix_coreupdater

but I have no experience as I use my own scripts outside of TYPO3



[¹] some prefer to have the source in the web-root, some prefer it one 
level higher, other use a common dir at the same level as web-root.
some TYPO3-hoster provide you with the actual source-versions 
automatically with links in your web-root. some hoster gave you links to 
all 'versions' but change these to the newest version. ....
