My SMF is completely down.

"Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later."
That's the error I keep getting when I try to access my forum. I've Google'd and searched for a solution, but I've yet to come across a fitting one.
I was trying to figure out how to import my database for my forum onto another website, and I was trying to change the password...
I went to the Server Settings and changed the password, but then I received that error and I can't bring up my forum!
I tried that repair_settings.php thing too, but it won't do anything. I've CHMOD'd and refreshed about a billion times...

Can someone help me? Or direct me to a board that would assist me.
Sorry if I posted this in the wrong place.

Oh...I just realized that I DID post this in the wrong place. -_- I was just following a link.....

It's not the best place for it, that's true, but that's okay, we can move the topic if you wish. It would be useful if you told your current SMF version.

In repair_settings.php, did you enter the actual password of the database? Then save it, and then try to access the forum?
