I was trying this one: http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory
I am looking for more easy way to change the URL, like thru the dashboard, or the control centre. (I am not familiar to handle coding)

If you want the Wordpress site to be accessible through pixlab.my and do not feel comfortable moving the installation, you can add a redirect to the root of your hosting account. This will allow you to automatically forward your visitors from pixlab.my to pixlab.my/wordpress.
Redirect URLs with Your Hosting Account
Keep in mind that this may not be an ideal solution if you are looking to work on the site’s SEO. If you haven’t done much work on the site, you can also add a new Wordpress installation to the root directory and then re-create the site.

@pixman – If the WordPress is “broken” as a result of having the wrong URL then there would be no way to access the Admin area, so no way to change the URL through the Admin area.
You’ll notice in the instructions you should change the URL before actually moving the files, because the Admin area would be “broken” afterwards as a result if you do not.
I guess you could move the files back to the original location, then change the URL through the Admin area, and then move the files back again.
But the article I posted previously is how you would do it through the Hosting Control Center:

I am fixing with the “Edit wp-config.php”, the WP-admin page & the correct URL turn into unaccessible. Is it take time to be effective?(I do have the backup)

Changes to the wp-config file should be reflected almost immediately. It appears that you site is currently accessible again at pixlab.my/wordpress.
