    So I signed into my admin site and click on dashboard and the only thing that appears is.
    1. Profile
    2. Vimeography (a plugin)

    Thats it. So i can do nothing.

    I have changed my password, signed in again and nothing.
    restarted and nothing.

    Any suggestions?

    Using Phpmyadmin (or another MySQL management tool), first backup your database. Then navigate to your wp_usermeta table and locate the meta_key called “wp_capabilities” for your user_id. Change the meta-value for this record to:

    a:1:{s:13:"administrator";b:1;}

    Unfortunately I am a novice here!

    So if this is the only way, do I need to download first Phpmyadmin? Is it pretty user friendly? Any other way to backup my database?

    No – you use need to use Phpmyadmin (or another MySQL management tool) on your hosts’ server. Ask your hosts for assistance with this.
