In Settings > General, I change my site to be https://

I get a 404 Not Found.
Is there a way I can revert this? I tried Googling but found nothing :(

You cannot revert this. You will need to export your database via PhpMyAdmin and find all of the "HTTPS" instances and replace them with "HTTP". I would suggest using something like Dreamweaver or Notepad++ to 'find and replace all'. After you have done that, import your database again.
siteurl
which will point you at the table
wp_options
and says: 1 match in wp_options
. Do the same with home and the results will show also 1 match in wp_options
. Click both times, Browse and Edit, make the changes and save. Btw, Dreamweaver was also a joke I hope.

the best way is to login to your database, usually thru PHPmyadmin.
Go to your website's options table and edit the option_value for 'siteurl' and/or 'home' to the URL without https:// (just http://)
wp-config.php
,define( 'WP_SITEURL', 'http://yourdomain' );
anddefine( 'WP_HOME', 'http://yourdomain' );
, to see if you have at least access again to the back-end. No idea what you already did before that change or was it 'just' a start. (a try won't harm, and if it is not working you just delete those two lines) – Charles Feb 12 '16 at 7:25
