It’s official, my old website host has deleted my database containing my previous blog settings and 12 months posts - I am obviously a little annoyed.

They managed to provide a sql copy of my database but that won’t import to Wordpress as it tells me access is denied.  If anyone is an expert in this, I would really welcome your advice.

At the moment, I am going to have to try to repost some of the posts from memory so please bear with me.
