# Changed WordPress URL, cannot log in

 * So, in the settings menu from my admin page, I changed my WordPress URL from 
   [http://www.shawnmicskills.com](http://www.shawnmicskills.com) to [http://www.thetrademarkexperience.com](http://www.thetrademarkexperience.com)(
   I own both domains, along with 5 others, and all 7 URLs had been programmed to
   link back to [http://www.shawnmicskills.com](http://www.shawnmicskills.com), 
   so I didn’t think changing the URL from one to another would be an issue). So,
   of course, this is a bad idea, and now I can no longer login to my blog. The 
   bigger issue is that I cannot access phpmyadmin, because the host domain was 
   set-up by a third party (with whom I am no longer in contact). I know Dreamhost
   is the server, but as I said, I am not the one who set it up, so I cannot access
   that info.
    Is there anyway to change my URL back to the original without phpmyadmin
   access and without being able to log in to wordpress, or am I screwed? For the
   record, my site is still up and seems to be 100% (all 7 URLs work, as well), 
   I just can’t log in.
 * I would appreciate any help/advice I can get.
 * Thanks,
    Tom

 * Hey TheTradeMarkExperience
 * If you changed the URL, i guess index.php should be edited too.

 * Thanks for the help everyone.
 * Shane, those articles were informative, but unfortunately I cannot access wp-
   config, I don’t have access via FTP and I don’t know how to access my WordPress
   Database (a third party set-up my blog and he is the one who has access to phpmyadmin).
   I am not a techie, as I said I didn’t set up the blog myself, and a lot of these
   tutorials don’t make sense to me or explain things in the way I need them explained.
 * Kim, index.php leads me to a 404 page not found page.
 * Can anyone explain to me in layman’s terms how to rectify this situation?
