Description of my issue:
I used a German "ö" in the secret word after administrator for example
www.mydomain.de/administrator/sdöjjjj89
When trying to enter the site I get an error because the url changes in
www.mydomain.de/administrator/sdÃjjjj89
In which table in database is the secret word stored so I can change it?

Hi Nicholas,
thanks your your help, but I didn't solve my problem. Unfortunately I used a German 'ö' (it's an o with dots) in my secret word after www.domain.de/administrator/secret_word. Where in database can I change this secret word? This 'ö' automatically changes to là when I enter the domain. So I have no access to back-end anymore :-(
I get the message being a spammer.....

Please do follow all of those instructions. Renaming main.php will get you access to your back-end as Admin Tools' system plugin will no longer work, therefore will not perform the redirection any more. These instructions are used by dozens of people every year and they do work for all of them.
