Site disappeared after URL update in database

Hello.

I am migrating an old web site from xampp 32-bit on XP built in wordpress 3.6, into an online host.

I manually updated wordpress to 4.9 and the site became visible, but the site url was wrong, it showed up as localhost_ in Softaculous wordpress manager:

http://localhost/Gomberg_Map

I could not login with Softaculous or the admin page.

I had already uploaded the database into phpmyadmin, but I didn’t know how to update the urls in phpmyadmin.

So, I opened the DB in notepad on my desktop and updated the urls, and re-imported the DB in phpmyadmin. The site became invisible (white) but the url looks correct now:

I wonder if it’s allowed to re-import a DB or have I screwed up my site?

I then realized maybe the config file needed updating. I got the database name by opening “backup” in softaculous manager. I input the database name in two places in the config file, and reuploaded the config file.

The site still was white.

There was a database password still in the config file. This would be from the old xampp site, I presume. It didn’t work either to remove that DB password or to leave it. So, I presume there is a different DB password somewhere, maybe generated by manually updating wordpress to 4.9???

Question 1: So, how do I find the database password after a manual wp update? And will that solve my “white” site problem?

Willing to hire someone to fix this.

Or please make the solution simple for dummies.

Thanks in advance.
