   I can no longer log into admin my site because i set /home as the static home page but failed to publish /home prior to that.

   the guy that installed/hosts wp on my site is not currently available.

   is there any way for me to fix this?

   go directly to http://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin

   It should prompt you for login, then redirect you to the admin panel.

   http://websitename.com/home/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.websitename.com%2Fwp-admin%2F

   if i delete /home in the address line i get this page, which has UN & PW boxes.

   http://websitename.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.websitename.com%2Fwp-admin%2F

   once i enter that info it takes me to

   http://websitename.com/home/wp-login.php

   which doesn't exist because it was never published

   You didn't set a static home (you'd do that under Settings -> Reading), you tried to change the WordPress URL (Settings -> General).

   So first, you need to undo that bad URL. Several methods are mentioned here: Changing_The_Site_URL
