Aloha syaikhoni848, The first thing I would do is change your password. I would strongly recommend against posting your login credentials on a public website, as you never know who may see them.
You can even do this before you site is back up and working, which I would suggest. I typically do this through phpMyAdmin, but other options are also available:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Resetting_Your_PasswordIt looks like you are working with a self-hosted WordPress.org site instead of the WordPress.com-hosted version supported here.
Learn more about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/With that being said, here are a number of possible causes for that error:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Common_WordPress_Errors#Error_Establishing_Database_ConnectionIf none of those work or if you have any further questions, I would recommend searching on the WordPress.org support forums for similar issues. If you cannot find anything that works, you can start your own thread. The forums are completely separate from each other, so you will need to register an account there if you haven’t done so already.
Good luck!
