JSecure doesn't save the the key in the database.

The easiest way is to use phpMyAdmin (or it's equivalent on your host) and disable the extension.

In phpMyAdmin, find your JSecure row in #__extensions and change the value of the enabled column to 0, this will disable the extension, you can then go back into the Extension Manager re-enable JSecure and setup a new secret word.

By the way if you already use Akeeba AdminTools — this functionality (the secret word for /adminsitrator access) is built into the WAF settings.

These are the instructions for manual deletion that are included with JSecure:
