Hi, I have tried all those and nothing! Thank you anyway.

Try:
– switching to the default theme by renaming your current theme’s folder inside wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder name using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

– resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin.

You also neglected to mention what version of WordPress you are using.

I believe I am currently on 3.5.1 as that is what my host provides as a simple install. I have changed the name of the theme file by adding -old, now I just have a blank page and no theme at all for some reason WP has not restored to twentytwelve.

I will try and reset the plugins folder now

Try:

– re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder – from a fresh download of WordPress. Make sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the new ones.

– running the upgrade manually via wp-admin/upgrade.php

I have reset the folder via my host pannel (I am using FTP on another site at the moment) and still have the same problem. Twentytwelve still not showing either, just a blank screen?!?

Im now trying your last

Try:

– re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder – from a fresh download of WordPress. Make sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the new ones.

I now have this:

Error establishing a database connection

I had to re-upload my php.config file.

Its a database problem. As I have now performed a new fresh install and updated to 3.5.2 and all OK.

I know when I import my database it will develop the problem again!

Im uploading my .sql file now……

……. Blank screen again!! ??

…….. and locked out!

You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.

Please stop posting every few minutes. You are going to start tripping the forum’s spam filter. Try:

– resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin.

Your site is not currently using the original Twenty Twelve theme & it still has active plugins.

I tried to do that and all i get is a blank screen. I dont have any plugins activated. (sorry for the multiple posts).

I have changed my current theme file to theme-old and I have now just got a blank screen.

Re-upload a fresh, unpacked, copy of the Twenty Twelve folder to wp-content/themes using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.
