 * I had changed my permalink to something a little more complicated (like a long
   password) and the site went to 404. I deleted the plugin and now the permalink
   menu always redirects to homepage. Urgent help needed… Reinstalling WordPress
   doesn’t help!

 * I’m marking it as resolved but I suggest you do some testing on your part.
    After
   some database optimization the permalink menu re-appeared, then I reinstalled
   the plugin (it took over 2 minutes to install) and that complicated password 
   was just sitting in the “login URL”. I take the plugin doesn’t wipe out its data
   when uninstalled, but the major problem was that broken permalink redirect.

 * ….I believe the login URL doesn’t accept certain characters, I know for sure 
   it doesn’t accept the first letter as capital
