   I totally screwed up my blog and now can't even access my admin.

   Basically, I was trying to make the blog the main page for my website, so on the general settings page I changed the two boxes from "www.website.com/blog" to "www.website.com"

   Then when I refreshed my blog to see if the changes did what I wanted it to do, it came back with a 404 Error Page Not Found message.

   If I could figure out how to get to admin or know where to change that back, it'd be an easy fix, but I have no idea how to do that in my file manager. Fortunately all of the files are still there; I just don't have access to them.

   The website still works, but none of the blog pages do. If anyone can help, I will love them forever.

   I did the same thing once. I had to use mysql and go into the database, changing the correct entry in the wp_options table.

   This helped me: http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL

   Thanks so much. And the fact that someone else has done that before makes me feel less stupid. ;)
