 * Hai friends,
 * I am in a big trouble. I created a website in wordpress in localhost, after I
   completed it, I hosted my site in to a free web hosting server. so i changed 
   the web url from [http://localhost/wordpress](http://localhost/wordpress) to 
   www.******.com. bt I remove the site from that live server for some reasons, 
   bt now wordprss is not connected in my local server, it always connected to the
   live server, because I changed the site url previously using settings->general
   in admin dashboard. How can I change the URL from WWW.******.com to [http://localhost/wordpress](http://localhost/wordpress)
   manually, please help me..
 * Thanks in advance

 * You can do this in the database options table, look for home and url names of
   the option meta.

 * thank u very much..And one thing,after I host my website in a live server, how
   can I access the WP-admin, which user name and password I given? I just test 
   this, but username and password error appears, how can I solve this?

 * usernames and pw’s are also available through the database. In the wp_users table.
 * You can’t see the actual passwords since they are MD5 encrypted, but you can 
   edit that line in plain text, and save it as MD5 – so it will become encrypted
   again…
 * Your new password is whatever you wrote in plain text..
