# cannot access wp-admin

 * Was posting happily today on [http://www.grubbylens.com](http://www.grubbylens.com)(
   I am the sole user).
    When I returned to edit, I only had authority to edit new
   posts (ie, I was barred from the complete dashboard to change sidebars etc). 
   Then my password would not work; Then the site would not load up properly: the
   content is there but not displayed in my blog format with 3 columns; Then, when
   trying to access the wp-admin, the message came up: Not Found Sorry but you are
   looking for something that isn’t here. Looks complicated to me. Maybe I’ve been
   hacked (I do live in China !). Should I just scrap everything, load up a new 
   version and get started again ? Or what? Thanks

    see if that
   is the case [http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL](http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL)

 * Thank you for your tip.
    Tried it, but no change. When I try to access the wp-
   login I get: Not Found Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.
   Also, the site is not loading properly. So, I can’t rectify, can’t post etc etc.
   There is not a lot of content on there. And I have copies of anything written/
   filmed. Should I just scrap the whole thing and restart ? Best
