First of all I am new - so I know there is a lot of this I probably shouldn't have done, but if anyone can help I would be so appreciative.  I am developing a Joomla site on my local host.  I changed my root password from localhost.  Then I couldn't access through phpmyadmin.  So I freaked out and made a copy of the data folder and the joomla site folder.  Then I reinstalled xampp to reset MySql.  I can now access mysql again, but when I try to copy back in the data folder nothing happens.  I think I could get back to where I was yesterday right after I changed the password if it is easier, or I can go from here.  Fingers crossed someone might can help.  Is there a way to save this??  Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Ok, I've made some progress. I don't know how familiar you are with Joomla, but....

I have xampp reinstalled and running, joomla is reinstalled and functioning. I can see all my tables in phpmyadmin. I have put all my old files in the directory for Joomla. So the database is there, the content is there, I can access both of these. Yet, the site only shows a blank default template. I feel as though I need to link the content back to the database somehow to make it recognize the existing content???
