Everytime you’re defining a plugin setting or a custom field value, WordPress uses the wp-options table of your database to record it. Sure, you can use PhpMyAdmin to modify that table, but there’s even easier.
To easily access to the wp-options table, juste enter the following url in your browser adress bar:
http://www.yourblog.com/wp-admin/options.php
You'll see a control panel appearing. From it, you can modify almost all data recorded in the wp-options table. Of course, don't do anything unless you know what you're doing!
Thanks to Michael Castilla for this awesome trick!

Interesting. Question on topic – how to clean various settings left from plugins no longer used? Seems some create whole tables in database.
@Rarst: A well coded plugin should give you an uninstall process that will delete unused tables. Sadly, lots of plugins leaves tables even after being uninstalled. The only solution I know is to manually delete theses tables using PhpMyAdmin, for exemple.
Now, that is too cool. Thanks for the tip Jean and Michael..
Thanks for sharing this one, i really just have forgotten the right URL to the options table setting page inside the Dashboard, I used to enter PHPADMIN to tweak around before.
