    thanks frioman. I spoke to tech support, they said the data base is still there but while trying to access it I changed the password (true!) so it’s not the same one the website uses to access the database. They said I need to go to wp hostings configuration.php file to correct it. Where do I find this file? I don’t see it when I go back to mysql, is it inside one of the tables?
    thanks a lot.

    Yes, it looks so but I’m still wondering whether it contains more than it should…here are a few lines from the top. Do they look correct to you? thanks again.

    Reviewing my steps, I think I have checked extra boxes under structure and Data that I wasn’t supposed to. Can I still restore the database using the backup done this way? Thanks.

    Thanks esmi. The backup file on my desktop is in a notepad format with a .sql extension. Is that how it’s supposed to look?

    I get this message when trying to open the site with IE:

    The website cannot display the page
    HTTP 500
    Most likely causes:
    The website is under maintenance.
    The website has a programming error.

    It doesn’t look like a server problem at that end. When I log on back to mysql, all the tables are still there. And Yes I did follow the instructions, clicked go and saved the downloaded file to my desktop — but now I’m thinking maybe I checked some boxes I wasn’t supposed to??
