 * Because of all kinds of problems I try to reinstall WordPress. But now I can’t
   login anymore. Is there a solution to that?

 * Hello
 * Are you getting an error message or what happens when you go to the yoursite.
   com/wp-admin page?
 * You might want to check your config.php file to make sure the path to your database
   etc. is correct.

 * Thank you for replying
 * Yes, I keep getting this error message that I can’t make connection to the database.
   
   As far as I know I filled in all the right passwords and usernames

 * It’s probably a problem in your config.php file. Check the [codex](https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php)
   for details. The main things to look are:
    Database Name Database Name used by
   WordPress
 * Database Username
    Username used to access Database
 * Database Password
    Password used by Username to access Database
 * Database Host
    The hostname of your Database Server. A port number, Unix socket
   file path or pipe may be needed as well.
 * Your host name might be `localhost`. You should be able to get the right name
   from your web hosting control panel.
