 * Thanks again jeremyclark13.. going out on a limb… Jeremy 🙂 I am in my hosting
   admin panel and there is nothing that looks like db management. I am going to
   get on the phone.
 * Thanks
 * It’s kind of fun to totally trash a site. I’m learning what “knowing enough to
   be dangerous” is all about.

 * Thanks jeremyclark13 and whooami.
 * My next question is then about uninstalling it so that I can reinstall it. I 
   know nothing about dbs and MySQL and I dont see any file in my ftp that looks
   like a data file. I am looking through ftp because, as I said before, I cant 
   pull up any admin panels in my browser because of the page not found errors so
   I have pretty much tanked the site.
 * Talk to me like I am your mother… Grandmother? The cute blond HR girl whos ignorance
   you tollerate because she’s got a nice personality?… If it’s too complicated,
   tell me to call my hosting company and have them wipe the drive so I can reinstall
   it.

 * Hi Folks, I just joined because I am having a similar problem to Ricky.
 * I had WordPress installed on a site but stopped using it last year. I needed 
   to redesign the site and put the blog in a subdirectory so I reinstalled the 
   software yesterday.
 * I have also forgotten all my old login info.
 * When I go to wp-install it tells me there an older version and to clear my database(
   s). I dont know how to do that and it keeps giving me page not found errors when
   I try to login but I can see the pages I am trying to call are physically there
   with my ftp.
 * I realize this damage is my own creation so lets keep any further smart comments
   to a minimum and try to include something helpful for Ricky and myself.
 * How do I A. clear my database or B. completely uninstall so that I can start 
   from scratch?
 * Thanks for any help.
    Traci
