    What did you do backup/restore of? The database or your entire account (which can only be restored by admin).

    If it is your database you restored, you need to go into your flashgamescript folder and look for a file called config.inc or config.php (this will probably be in a folder called includes. Inside that look for something like the following:
    $server = "localhost";
    $database = "mysite_flashgs";
    $user = "mysite_user";
    $password = "password";

    Just make sure that $database/$user/$password match the new ones you created when you restored your db.

    Rgds,
    Chris

    If you can get the host to wget it for you then that's handy.
