Root Phone won't connect to PC anymore!

More detail please. What happened before this / what were you doing? Does it light up when plugged into PC? Does it light up when plugged into a wall socket? Does it boot?

Everything works fine. Phone works and everything but it just doesnt connect to my PC. Stupid me I forgot where I did this but i was messing with what said "Name" and it has numbers and letters for example: fe08d26 something like that. And I thought it was the name of my phone when i plugged in into the computer and I changed the name.

So it lights up and charges ok, but you cannot mount the drive?

Does it say its mounted but then its not in My computer? When you say you deleted this info, was it on the phone or the PC? How long ago?

Is it a windows PC?

When I plug it in my Windows 7 Computer. The little message box says drivers not installed. Everything lights up ok. I tried to mount the drive via recovery but nothing happened. I changed the "name" on the phone. Maybe in quick system info pro or the stock phone settings. I cant remember which.
