If you have access to phpMyAdmin the following video may help.

you can JUST edit your wp-config.php, overwriting the 2 urls in the database.
you do NOT have to edit anything in your db anymore.
open up the wp-config.php that is on your site with a plain text editor.
add the following to it, making sure to use the right values (these are example domains)
define(‘WP_SITEURL’, ‘http://www.newdomain.com/path-wordpress’);
define(‘WP_HOME’, ‘http://www.newdomain.com/path-wordpress’);
NO closing / (forward slashes) either.
If you can provide the url to your blog, I can tell you exactly what those values need to be.
Hello Whoami,
My URL is: http://www.AustinBusinessesForSaleBlog.com I followed your directions exactly and still have the same problem. Any idea why? Also, I’ve tried to reply to you directly – how do I e-mail to individuals on the forum? The reason I’m asking is that I noticed the Craig’s List advertisement. If you’re looking for some free lance work – I’m sure this will not be the last time I encounter problems out of sheer ignorance. Thanks!

Hi everyone,
I did the same thing! I was trying to change the name of my blog and in the process changed the URL in the Options panel.
I followed Figaro’s advice and changed the wp-config.php.
I am hosting the blog on my own domain via Go Daddy hosting. I can now get to my blog if I go to: http://www.markriva.com/blog/… but I still have two big problems:
1) My home page – http://www.markriva.com – used to link to the http://www.markriva.com/blog/ but now will not, instead I get an error page that says this:
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/m/a/r/markriva22/html/blog/wp-config.php:48) in /home/content/m/a/r/markriva22/html/blog/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 391
2) I cannot log into my admin at all. When I try I get this error message:
Warning: main(/home/content/m/a/r/markriva22/html/blog/wp-load.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/m/a/r/markriva22/html/blog/wp-login.php on line 12
Warning: main(/home/content/m/a/r/markriva22/html/blog/wp-load.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/m/a/r/markriva22/html/blog/wp-login.php on line 12
Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required ‘/home/content/m/a/r/markriva22/html/blog/wp-load.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/content/m/a/r/markriva22/html/blog/wp-login.php on line 12
Any help out there?
Thanks,
Mark
Have you checked this:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL
It just helped me recover from the same ‘accident’. I used the alteration to functions.php method.
