    So you can't get into the admin panel at all? Then since it is a new installation, I too would delete it and start again.

    no no need to delete it and reinstall, open the config.php file in your root folder and change the domain from it and save it. it will work. it happened to me once :)

    Not exactly because, Config file doesnt provide an option for altering or changing the URL!! :)

    May be that could be done from the database - Yeah Propably!

    OP may have just done a reinstall!!

    While the URL is per default stored in the database (and could be modified there in such a case with a tool like phpMyAdmin), it's also possible to configure the URL in wp-config.php, like this:

    define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://www.mydomain.com/wordpress');
    define('WP_HOME', 'http://www.mydomain.com');
