 * Hopefully I can make sense of what I have done.
    My wp site is in a sub of my
   root directory. Attempted to move my wordpress site to my root directory. I went
   into admin and changed the URL and URI path did not work so I went to move everything
   back to where it was originally but now I cannot access the admin page to change
   path again.
 * Which file do I need to access via filezilla/dreamweaver to do this the backdoor
   method or is there another way to access admin page.
 * Hope this makes sense.

 * When moving the site back, you’ll need to reset the URL and URI to the original
   settings. Since you are unable to access the admin page, you’ll need to do this
   directly in the database I believe.

 * Yeah, that one works wonderfully as well.
