I realized that the database error occurred just after I installed and activated a new plugin. So I deleted the plugin from my c-panel, and also followed the repair and config steps explained. I added the code to wp-admin.php, but it seems like it was rather/also needed in the wp-config.php file.
All fixed, so thanks!

The front page loads normally, but takes a longer time. However, when we try to access the back end (wp-login.php), it either takes a long time to get to the login page or gives us the “Error in Establishing Database Connection” message.

Is this a likely database problem or a server problem? Thanks!

This article is very informative. It’s the best guide for beginners who don’t know about database setup on WordPress.
You discuss this step by step… That’s why I love your articles all time.
Keep writing…

Actually I was trying to move my wp site from subfolder to root folder so I just copied wp files from subfolder to root folder. so when I tried to login wp admin using the domain name of my root, it’s showing this error. While when I open wp admin using domain of sub folder everything runs fine. So I think the problem is establishing database connection with my new root address but I am unable to sort it out. Can you help me in this?

THIS WAS TOTALLY OUT OF MY LEAGUE. I DID NOT UNDERSTAND ANY OF IT. I WENT TO GMAIL’S WEB SITE AND FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS. I DID GET ACCESS TO MY GMAIL AFTER THAT. THE NEXT DAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN. IS THERE ANYWAY YOU CAN GIVE SUGGESTIONS TO US WHO HAVE MINIMAL KNOWLEDGE IN COMPUTER SKILLS?

THANK YOU!

Hey Kristi,

Can you please provide a bit more info? If you forget the password, you can reset it from WordPress using PHPmyadmin or by uploading password reset script.
