I’m extremely new to WP (been using it for about a week). I finished making my site locally using MAMP. I then wanted to move my local site to my web site. So I followed these instructions: http://easyfastwordpress.com/developing-locally-with-mamp-and-wordpress/ and by the time I got to step 8 I couldn’t get into phpMyAdmin said it was unable to find database. I’ve read some threads on fixing this but none have worked as I can’t remember my original settings. I’ve tried this method: http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL#Changing_the_URL_directly_in_the_database but since I don’t recall my original siteURL and homeURL I don’t know what to change them to. Please tell me there’s a way to fix this! I worked so hard on stylizing my custom theme and I really can’t afford to lose everything. Thanks!

Are you saying you forgot your password, you can get it from wp-config.php in the root folder of wordpress, did you forget your original url, if your dashboard is working its easy otherwise select the table wp_options and look for “siteurl” as the option_name and change the option_value for that particular option
