I messed up my wp permalink structure...404 errors everywhere

[Alijawaad]

I just changed my permalink structure in wordpress from the default "p=1" structure to one that uses the title of each post.
After changing it....i get a message that I should update my htaccess file.
I dont know what htaccess is....but now when i try clicking on any link...i get a 404 error...
please help...

What did you change the permalink structure to?

I changed it to /%postname%/

ok...wordpress tells me to put this into my htaccess file..
how do i edit htaccess?

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wordpress/
RewriteCond &#37;{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wordpress/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
