I did a database backup on my 1.6.6 and have it in my files, how do I apply it to 1.6.9?
As i understand you have 1.6.6 files and database... Why just don't you upload your database and after that upgrade to 1.6.9?

If i wrong, and you have only database, just upload files from 1.6.9 to your host, change in config.php details about database, import it in phpMyAdmin and it should be fine Smile
Update: I got it on there, now how do I apply it to the forum?

The backup to make my forum look like I had it before I updated.
If you imported database in hosting, go to your files in host, and find config.php -> There you have to change database details (user,password) so database can connect to forum.

Where would my config.php be? And what user,password do i put in?
Cpanel -> File Manager -> public_html -> there you will find it (or in folder of your forum)...
You have to make if you didn't, one user with pass and grant it to database. To make a user you have to go in MySQL Database managment (it's somehow called like that) and make it there. After that in config.php file you will see where to put username and password of that user, database name, and server (usually it's localhost).

So, I found where I edit it, but there is already a user and pass there, so how would I apply it to my forum?
By putting the user and password of your database there.
