 * When you try to access your database? As in phpMyAdmin? Depending on whether 
   XAMPP/WAMP, you can try to access the db from the command line:
 * `c:\xampp\mysql\bin\mysql.exe -u USER -pPASSWORD DATABASE_NAME -q "SELECT * FROM
   wp_posts"`
 * Otherwise, if you mean that’s what you see when you view your WordPress site,
   did your databse credentials change at all. Try to access it through the command-
   line to make sure that’s still ok.
