the url that my wordpress blog is on is nutritolavita.com BUT i recently got a new url nourishedlife.com.au so nutritolavita.com now REDIRECTS to this new url.
I very very stupidly went into my control word press panel and changed the url name registered with WP in the GENERALS settings to my new one... so now i cant get into any pages in my control panel to even change it back coz its redirecting everything to the new url which WP dont know of. i dont even know where to start to fix this mess :( please can anyone help me. I took the day off to get my blog up today and after 13 hours straight i totally lost everything i just did :(

me again,
thinking back, it may not be screwed up coz of the domain name forwarding BUT simply just because i typed the wrong URL in the GENERAL section of the WP control panel. I really just need someone at wordpress to go in and over-write it. Can anyone help me ????

i cant change it back, i cant get into any areas of the WP admin section at all now. All of my code is in there...
follow the link Samuel B has provided and read the information there. you don't need to get into the WP admin section to change it back.

i didnt understand 1 word on that link. where do i go? like, what is the first step ?
1st method use ftp or your host's file manager
Edit wp-config.php
It is possible to set the site URL manually in the wp-config.php file.
Add these two lines to your wp-config.php, where "example.com" is the correct location of your site.
define('WP_HOME','http://example.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://example.com');
This is not necessarily the best fix, it's just hardcoding the values into the site itself. You won't be able to edit them on the General settings page anymore when using this method.
