How to unistall extension from Mangeto without access admin area?

I was trying to install an extension "Enhanced Admin Grids extension" which I did fine from Magento connect. Then I realized I wanted to install the github version so I thought I was doing this correctly by replacing all the folders with the github version. Turned out it didnt work and I was getting errors when trying to login to the admin area. How can I just remove everything to be able to login to my site again?

This is the error I'm getting: Mage registry key "_singleton/customgrid/observer" already exists

If you know where the extension lives in your website, you can try deleting the extension's directory - try checking app/code/local/... and app/code/community/...

This won't undo any database changes though.

Alternatively, as a complete hack, you can open up app/Mage.php. Look for the following function

public static function register($key, $value, $graceful = false)
{
    if (isset(self::$_registry[$key])) {
        if ($graceful) {
            return;
        }
        self::throwException('Mage registry key "'.$key.'" already exists');
    }
    self::$_registry[$key] = $value;
}

Change this function with this one:

public static function register($key, $value, $graceful = false)
{
    if (isset(self::$_registry[$key])) {
        if ($graceful) {
            return;
        }
        return;
        //self::throwException('Mage registry key "'.$key.'" already exists');
    }
    self::$_registry[$key] = $value;
}
