# No Access

 * I have recently downloaded WordPress to my computer to start working on my site.
   I believe I have covered all the bases of uploading my wp files to an FTP server
   and connecting to MySQL. However I cannot access WordPress at all to begin editing
   and creating my site.
 * I accessed a thread on this forum and found a similar question and an answer.
   I copied across the suggested solution and this is the error message I got back.
 * SQL query:
    UPDATE wp_users SET user_pass = md5(‘new_password’)WHERE user_login
   =’admin’ MySQL said: #1146 – Table ‘db479871002.wp_users’ doesn’t exist
 * I am now stumped as to how I can start editing and creating the site with the
   templates I have got. Any help is greatfully received.

 * Are you trying to install WordPress on a server or on your local computer? It’s
   one or the other – they’re separate installations. See:
 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress](http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress)
 * If you’re working locally, you have to first set up a server environment on your
   computer. Or if you’re on a server, you don’t need anything installed on your
   local computer.

 * I have a 1&1 hosting for my domian.
 * So I downloaded WP to my computer, unzipped the file and uploaded to my 1&1 account
   via FTP.

 * Now I am in limbo. My domain name has a redirect on it to show a holding page
   for now.
 * But now I am stuck.

 * It was set up by uploading to the root (index.html)
 * I now have a php URL where I offered up the database connections. Am I missing
   something?
