Made my Durpal offline and then logged out

Hi, my name is Henry and I am new to the Drupal thing. I am the only administrator of my site's Drupal and I made it offline before. Then I accidentally logged out. How can I get back in?

Log back in!

Go to http://example.com/user and log in as an administrator (assuming you're using clean URL's)

The thing is, I can't find

The thing is, I can't find the log-in ANYWHERE. That's the problem

point your browser there.

point your browser there. You'll see it. If you're not using clean URLs, try ?q=user.

Go to domain/user/password

Go to domain/user/password and reset your password. Or if you have access to phpMyAdmin login and navigate to your User table, edit the uid 1 record, delete the current password value and add your new password, select the MD5 function and save the record. Go to /user and login. Probably a good idea to make a database backup before you start mucking with the live db.
