Resolved.
What I did was, one, upload my backed-up mysql to my mysql on cpanel.
2.I re-installed WordPress using Fantansico it created its own database.
3. I just I downloaded my old mysql database I uploaded in step 1. I just uploaded it and downloaded it because that backup was on my laptop and I’m on my desktop.
4. After downloading it I renamed my database to the one wordpress created during the install, to override it. There it was back up and running.
