Firstly, you need to give us more info.
Copy the System Info from admin, for starters, then tell us a bit more about the site - a link to it would help too.

Looks like your database is toast - hope you have a backup.

Ok i have restored the site to its previous settings, i am using 1.2.2 Holetown on this site.
Can someone explain in simple terms how i can go about upgrading this site now to 1.6.1 ?
ive never done a succesfull upgrade before, and dispite reading all the documents, something always seems to go wrong.
As far as i understand it, i should now download cmsmadesimple-1.6.1-full.tar.gz
unzip it and upload all of its contents onto my sites hosting.
Once that is done i should then go to /upgrade.php and select ok and that should be that, am i right so far?
i did this last night and thats when this page popped up saying
Database Connection Failed
Error: Access denied for user 'cms'@'localhost' (using password: YES) (1045)
Function Performed: CONNECT
Host/DB: localhost/cms
Database Type: mysql
my password to my database is not YES as it seems the above is trying to connect with. Any advice? am i on the right tracks?

Hello,
1.2.2 is very very old...
Does this 1.2.2 install work OK ? (before upgrading)
Do you have special modules/settings ?
Could you try a 1.2->1.4->1.6 upgrade path ? Using System Info inside 1.4+...

Are you sure it's not because the config.php is set to read and not write during upgrade?...

Check your downloads, check your uploads.

Sounds like a authentication issue with your database, after the upgrade open the config.php file and double-check your database settings.
