oh and now when I go to the wp-admin it shows me an error that I can’t get past and tells me to come to the forum and get help

Your database credentials are incorrect. Do not post your database credentials here, however it would help to know who your host is.
my host is site5.
So should I go onto the cpanel, delete all the databases (I have two from prior manual tries of installing wordpress) and see if that corrects the issue?
Did you try the one click installer? http://kb.site5.com/control/siteadmin/sa-software/siteadmin-how-to-install-wordpress/
That will be the easiest way for you to get up and running.
that is what i used and that seems to have not made it’s own database :(. I explained that in my initial post on here.

Oops, just saw your prior comment about trying the one click installer! lol.
I would delete all prior installs like you suggested and just try again. If it doesnt work I would actually suggest contacting Site5 unless you want to attempt a manual install http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress
okay that is what i was thinking. Thanks Keith
