    Well, not sure what I did, but I've tried all of the solutions on your website with no luck. I have my hosting at Go Daddy and downloaded Joomla from the hosting center. Have been working on the website diligently and finally got the point where I needed to learn how to connect the dots and link my modules to articles etc.

    Well, I couldn't figure it out. While messing around, I found the database MySql under "Databases" of course and promptly clicked it to see what was there. I couldn't get in as my password was wrong. So I followed the instructions and changed it under the configuration.

    Probably to no one's surprise who is reading this, I clicked on Joomla at my Go Daddy applications and my database is gone. The error reads "Database Error: Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to MySQL" After speaking with Go Daddy support they informed me that the database is intact, but my password is changed. They have no idea how to fix that.

    Help!
