I am not able to login to my website after changes I made lastnight. I believe I was in general settings. I did it so fast that it's hard to explain (basically an experiment gone wrong).- A TRUE DAMN MOMENT! So in my settings I changed two areas (damnsfaction.com) to http://www.damnmoments.com.
-www.damnmoments.com and http://www.damnmoment.com are domain names i purchased through godaddy and I have it set to forwarding (masking) to damn.sfactions.com (where my blog is located). So that when ppl type in damnmoments or damnmoment.com it takes them damn.sfaction.com
Now in my wordpress I believe general settings there were two areas that had damn.sfaction.com (I believe one had homepage and there was another below). I changed these to http://www.damnmoments.com I nvr did this before but for some reason thought I should do it. After doing this it signed me out and when I tried to sign back in DAMN I couldn't sign back in.
My cousin is another Admin on my account and may be able to resolve when I am able to get in touch with him, but is there something I can do to reverse what I did or be able to login?

Try the wp-config.php edit to reset the site url.

Edit wp-config.php
It should be possible to fix the site URL using a new feature -
Add these two lines to your wp-config.php, where "example.com" is the NEW location of your site.
define('WP_HOME','http://example.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://example.com');
I'm not familiar with the above directions. how do I get to the above solution. Am I to set it up http://www.damnmoments.com/wp-config.php? or damn.sfaction.com/wp-congig.php. How do I get to this function? Can you put the the above in layman's term.. My first time troubleshooting with wordpress..

Okay... where did you install WordPress? That is, where is the server where you physically uploaded files and installed WordPress? Login to that server via FTP or via your web-host's file management interface if there is one, and find the wp-config.php. The file is already there or WordPress wouldn't work. It should be in the document root along with the folders 'wp-content', 'wp-admin', and 'wp-include' and a large handful of .php files. Insert those 'define' lines in that file setting the addresses to whatever they were when the blog worked. Be sure to use a text editor like Notepad or Textedit, and not a word processor like MsWord. Your ftp software might let you edit the file too. That should be fine.
After you are working again, if you want to change those address come back and talk about it first. ;) I'm not clear on what you were trying to accomplish. You might not have to change the addresses at all.
