I know nothing about the inner workings of Moodle, databases, php, and the like. In trying to install a simple plugin, it seems I have locked us out of the admin controls. After validation of the newly uploaded plugin, I was greeted with a page that had 27 errors, mostly indicating "to be deleted" but also "missing from disk" and one other plugin that needed to be upgraded. I chose to upgrade the one plugin that gave me the option and that seems to have been a mistake. When I clicked the Upgrade Moodle Database button, the process appears to have gotten stuck on the updated Questionnaire plugin. I canceled the installation of the new plugin but there appears to be no way to back out of upgrading the Questionnaire plugin with its "to be upgraded" status.
I have no idea how to do anything with SQL databases or anything similar. I don't know the version of Moodle because I can't get out of this screen to check. I'm hoping there is something simple that I can do to get back to where I started. I do know the location of the plugin (mods\questionnaire) and see a directory labeled "backup" if that is helpful.
