   I just installed the WP Security Scan plugin, and had it change my table prefixes.

   After I did this, I can no longer access wordpress (so I can't correct my problem where it was caused) or my website!!

   I get the following message when I visit my website URL, and when I visit the WP login:

   ERROR: $table_prefix in wp-config.php can only contain numbers, letters, and underscores.

   !!!!HELP!!!!!!!!

   Also, I had the WP-DB-Backup plugin email me a backup file just before this happened...except it's a text file??? How can I use this file to restore things?
