The correct way to have reset the plugin uploader password would have been to run this query:
This would have then shown the form on the plugin uploader page to set a new password and is all you needed to do. Your database password is totally separate to this and didn't need to be changed.
As you've changed your database user/password, you'll need to update them in inc/config.php
Then you'll need to restore all the plugins you deleted, hopefully you took a file backup and can restore them from that.
