database

I did reset my database password, so I could enter the phpMyAdmin, but now my Wordpress installation can't connect to the database. I tried to access the "wp-config.php" (should be at http://mysite.com/wp-config.php right?) but, again, I get the "can't connect to database" message.

Also, now when I try to access the file manager on the GoDaddy hosting, I get "The page isn't redirecting properly".

I did e-mail the GoDaddy support, and I'm researching while they do not answer. Not sure if it's a GoDaddy or Wordpress issue.

Is there any way to fix Wordpress, or I'll need to re-install it?
