Assuming you mean you can't currently access your admin center, do you have phpMyAdmin?

I'd go for the latest stable, which is 2.5.3 (I'm running that on my test server at home). But, unless you're your own host, I'd double-check that it's not already installed before you even go that far.

Should be able to click export. They do, you know, have support - over at www.phpmyadmin.net - and they can tell you how to get a database dump. (it's a really common thing.) It's probably even in their FAQ.

Sorry, I don't run phpMyAdmin support, nor do I know it well enough to pretend to. Would you rather I tell you something and be wrong - possibly deleting your database - or would you rather you got the support from the source and did it the sure fire way?

I make no promises when it comes to software I don't know well - sorry.

The default settings *should* do the job:

Just select the correct DB from the drop-down in the LH menu frame, select 'export' from the top menu in the main frame, check 'Save as file' and hit 'Go'!

Since you've already told us that you have a DB error, please bear in mind that this will be still be present in the exported .sql file, but I'm working on the assumption that a dumped DB with error(s) is better than no DB at all!
