    Sounds like you still have the original database info in the config file and like you DIDN’T delete it. Log into PHPmyadmin, drop the tables in the database, and then install.

    Incidentally — you could have just logged into the admin area and changed your email address in your profile.

    How do i drop the tables

    Log in to PHPmyadmin, choose the WP database, select all the tables, and drop them.

    how do i log into the admin when I don’t know my PW

    Why didn’t you know your password? It’s given to you when you install.
