I get this this error message in Joomla's control panel:
" ReCaptcha plugin needs a public key to be set in its parameters. Please contact a site administrator."

This happened after having installed "System – GK Contact" plugin.

The control panel is not accessible anymore, so I can't remove that plugin.

Any suggestions please?

Fixed:

I changed the lines:
if($this->params->get('use_recaptcha') == 1) {
To :
if($this->params->get('use_recaptcha') == 0) {

In: /public_html/plugins/system/plg_gkcontact/plg_gkcontact.php

To be able to access Joomla's control panel. Then I disabled the plugin gkcontact, and changed the lines above back to "== 1".

Later I disable the recaptcha option in gkcontact (since, I don't want to have it), and finally as the last step, I enabled gkcontact.
