How do I reset a plug in?

I got a plug-in for wordpress which bridges a link between wordpress and mybb.

The problem is this. After I finally got the right settings put in, it is kind of stuck. Where it says (unavailable) for the name of the forum, I cannot change it and so it will not accept the input.

So how do I uninstall and uninstalled plugin?

I am in limbo. I cannot complete the setting up of a plug in and I cannot uninstall the plug-in. There is a bug in the dashbord configuration of the plug in and it will not let me continue putting in the right input fields. Now that I know the correct input to put in, I need to restart the process.

But the plug in is not in my list of installed plug ins. So I cannot delete it and restart it.

What do I do?

I tried ftp'ing to the web site and deleting the plug in folder and that seemed for a moment to be the corrrect choice. But when I got to the options dashboard for the plug-in, it was still in this limbo state where the fields that I needed to imput were shown by a character string "(unavailable)".

Clearly, this is a no-brainer for you if you are an experienced wordpress user and have used a lot of plug ins (which I am not). Please help.

What I fear I might need to do is to either step into the PHP code (ugh!) or open up my MySql tables and try to guess on what entries I should delete to force a reset somehow (ugh!).

The code is all out on a hosted server. So I shutter at the task of finding out how to step through the PHP code as if I was debugging a C++ program. Just setting that up will be a pain. There are several avenues I suppose I can take to fix this. Any advice?
