 * I am having issues getting to the dashboard. I am able to login but the access
   bar at the top doesnt have any options to access the dashboard. When I try to
   access it via wp-admin url, I get a message of not authorized even though I am
   the admin.
 * Not sure how it got messed up or how to go about fixing it?

 * check in the users table in the database to confirm if the username / email you
   are using is set up with Administrator role.
 * you can normally access the database in your webhosting account in an area PHPMYADMIN.
