    I am entering the correct user name and password but I can’t login. I have repeatedly clicked on “lost your password” link but I don’t get the password change email. I am completely locked out of my account. And my website is down. “error establishing database connection”

    That’s very similar to what I have going on. Everything points to the wp-admin file. Have you checked to see your settings in there are correct?

    I have no idea how to see the wp-admin file. How do I get to that file if I can’t log in?

    You need to log in to your webhost and check the wp-config.php. The values you’ve entered in there for the database, user and password have to match exactly with the actual database you’ve set up on your server.

    I thought about that later, I type the wrong file name. Actually meant wp-config.php, not wp-admin.php. I’m using notepad++ to edit, and I learned the hard way you need to stop then restart server for things to take affect.

    Thanks. I haven’t been able to get into my cpanel anyway. I forgot my password and my host hasn’t responded to my request to reset it.

    Does anyone know why this happened? I haven’t updated or used the website in a few months so I did not reset anything. It was working just fine until five days ago.

    You’ll have to ask the host about Cpanel – that’s not part of WP. Sounds like something on the server may have changed.
