This is one of the reasons why I always back up the database and file system, especially the web.confg, before upgrading or installing/removing a module. You can get around it. You just have to register a new user and then make them a superuser in the database.

No, that is the only place those values are stored.  If you do not have a backup, you will need to register a new user, you can then copy the Password and PasswordSalt values from that account to your existing host account to be able to login.  I have a blog post about this somewhere on http://www.mitchelsellers.com.

Now, the only issue is that NONE of the other users are going to be able to login.  You will most likely need to set them to a default password, and then let the users login and change them.
