These user mistakes seem to happen a lot with Content management systems. I panicked the fist time i got denied access. I usually fix these propblems by removing the code i input which is usually found in the template files and just resave them back to original state. You should have an error message when access is denied. It would help if you can post this message so people can help you further. But dont worry. From what you said it sounds like an easilly fixable mistake.

PS. Be carefull when editing .tpl files. Dont screw around with any code you dont recognise. I made that mistake. Admin>Edit Templates> Look for the module .tpl file you were dealing with and see if you find your input code inside the file. If you have a problem with matching names you might easily delete the wrong code. Therefore: If you find the right template but dont understand code attach a copy to a post and request somebody with experience edits it for you.

Hope This helped

Can you post the error message? If you have invalid SMARTY code in the module, your Tiki will stop working. See here for a fix.
