 * 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.
