Locked out from WinSCP and can't Install Plugins!

[WesPenre]

I am not tech savvy, and I tried to set up where I can install plugins on Discourse. I didn’t realize that the root password was already entered into WinSCP, so I put in my own password, and now I am locked out from WinSCP and can’t do anything. How can this be unlocked, please?
