Changed WordPress Blog Address in Settings–Locked Out? How to Fix!
See the video below for step-by-step directions for “fixing” this problem through phpMyAdmin. If you don’t have access to phpMyAdmin, or are hesitant about messing with the database, see the video in this post for directions on how to “patch” your config.php file to regain access until you can get someone to help you fix the problem in the database.

Thank you so much! This was easy to follow and allowed me to quickly fix my previous mistakes. Would definitely recommend this to anyone needing help after getting locked out due to incorrect change of url. Your help is much appreciated.
Dear friendly gentleman who put this video online,
