Disabled Plugin, Renamed table prefexes, now locked out of admin!

    For security reasons I recently changed the prefixes of all my tables from wp_ to something less obvious (and also changed the config file to reflect the change). Just prior to doing that, I disabled and deleted the plugin followed by it’s 3 tables.

    Now I’m completely locked out of any /wp-admin area.

    I’ve recreated the tables via SQL and re-uploaded the plugin to no avail. I can’t activate the plugin as I “don’t have permissions” to access the plugins area.

    Please help.

    It seems to me you did not follow the right procedure to change the WP table prefix …
    Just renaming the table prefixes and changing the config file to reflect the new table prefix is not enough …
