Problem Solved – I got access thankfully, I must have deleted or reset myself as a user, no idea how I did it.Any ideas?

As another newbie my experience is that this is nearly always a permissions problem.

Log into your hosting and check that

administrator/cache
cache
logs
tmp

all have permissions 775

If they are okay then check the path for the log and temp settings in your configuration.php

Hope that helps.

EDIT

Two great tools that you might want on every site you build.
Akeeba Admin Tools and Akeeba Backup.

Yes indeed it must have been a permissions thing, but for some reason I actually deleted myself as a user, so I went into my php admin & created another user is the user table. good luck
