# WordPress Admin Access

 *  Resolved [droppin-loads](https://wordpress.org/support/users/droppin-loads/)

 * [17 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-admin-access/)
 * I wanted to add a splash page to my already established blog, so I changed the
   root index.php to contain “require(‘../wp-blog-header.php’);”.
 * Then I created a new folder called blog in my root directory and put in this 
   php file. I then went into the admin panel and accidently changed both the website
   URL and blog URL to [http://www.mywebsite.com/blog](http://www.mywebsite.com/blog)
   and now I can’t get into the wp-login.php.
 * I am not able to access any of the admin functions nor am I able to see the website
   properly now. I know I should have done this on a practice domain, but it’s not
   like I’m losing huge money by having the site down.
 * Can anybody help me with this please?? Thanks!

 * It sounds like you may need to start by manually changing back the url’s in your
   database. [This](http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL#Changing_the_URL_directly_in_the_database)
   might help get you started. You will need to have access to whatever MySql database
   management tools your hosting service provides for you.
