So i just setup a fresh MediaWiki and connected it to my old database. During the setup i created an admin account. But now i can't login using the username and password i created. What should i do?

If you connected it to your old database from a previous wiki, use the username and login from the old wiki.
Okay. But the problem is i don't know which user is the admin one. And i don't have the password for it anyway.
If you know a user name, you can use createAndPromote.php from the command line to make any user an administrator.
