 * If you’ve completely botched this up, there are a few things you can do:
    1.)
   The easiest method is to go to your website FTP, locate your wp-content folder
   > plugins and completely delete your PHPBB bridge plugin
 * and/or
 * 2.)If you need immediate access to wp-admin then all you need to do is FTP into
   your WordPress plugins directory and rename the wp-phpbb-bridge plugin folder
   to something else. You’ll be able to access wp-admin once again.
 * The problem however is that the bridge function of the plugin is still enabled
   in MySQL… Here’s the fix for that…
 * Login into phpMyAdmin from your CPanel and open your WordPress database. Search
   for wpb_active and select all the DB tables before clicking Go. You’ll now see
   the row wpb_active, click on edit. Change both “yes” values to no. You now have
   your wp-admin back!
 * hope this helps and isn’t too confusing. Good luck!

 * I am having similar issues after completely botching things when moving from 
   a subdomain to a new domain. Unfortunately, searching my database yields no results
   for “wpb_active.” I have no entries beginning with “wpb_” but everything is “
   wp_” instead. Perhaps there is something different about my database? There is
   also no “wp_active” either.
 * Any thoughts? I have browsed through the database, but I am admittedly a noob
   in that department and only have a very basic understanding of what I am doing…
 * Edit: After some more digging, search for “wpbb_active”. The instructions above
   leave off a “b”.
