In the network configuration.  But when on that page it says "You MUST read 
the contructor documentation of your desired authenticator class (in 
wifidog/classes/Authenticators/) BEFORE you start playing with this.", it's 
NOT kidding.  If you don't, you can get stuck like you have.

The normal way is to create an administrative network using 
AuthenticatorLocaUserNoSignup.  Sadly that's not an option right now until 
http://dev.wifidog.org/ticket/358 is fixed.

So since you didn't and couldn't, the only way to reset is to hand-edit the 
database.

You mean "Free tokens tied to purchase" or "Paid tokens" (from 
http://dev.wifidog.org/wiki/WirelessCommunityModels)?

I'm afraid either way, no one has announced interest in actually coding those 
features.
