Okay, if anyone ever experiences this after losing a db with a SitePad site, this just worked for one of them:
You have to go back the MySQL databases area in cPanel and add the appropriate User to the db.  In this case, the User has the same name as the db.  After that, you get this crazy url for your site if you try to visit it:

https : // example . com /site-admin/install.php

At that point you may be thinking - still doesn't work.  But then you go back to the SitePad backup restore area and do a full restore for the site again.  The result was a success message:

"The backup was restored successfully."
The site now loads normally as before.
I will now try it for the other one and if there is any issue will mention it here.
