wp-admin is redirecting to back to home page (localhost)

How I resolved it:

Log in to your PhPmyAdmin in your CPanel and look for the database for your wordpress.

2 steps once there:
1. Change url by editing an entry in a table(wp-options) of the database to rectify the problem.
2. Next, login to wp-admin and go to settings and change the url.
