In Settings > General, I change my site to be https:// and now when I go to /wp-admin 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.

I don't think you need to reinstall. Just change the part of the URL back to what you need. Feb 11, 2016 at 14:55

1@rocketman7k , What? I hope you are kidding, no export needed!. When you can do an export in phpMyAdmin you can also do a search! Like this: In your database you do a search for
siteurlwhich will point you at thetablewp_optionsand says:1 match in wp_options. Do the same with home and the results will show also1 match in wp_options. Click both times, Browse and Edit, make the changes and save. Btw, Dreamweaver was also a joke I hope.– CharlesFeb 12, 2016 at 7:40 -
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://)

2when you change the options in Settings > General, it only changes the siteurl and/or home fields. And/or because there are two fields you can change– forlogosFeb 11, 2016 at 14:59
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)
