Finding your login credentials for your FTP can be done by either looking around your cpanel or reaching out to your hosting provider.

Start by renaming the plugin folder under wp-content, plugins and downloading it then deleting the plugin folder on your hosting.

Next download the theme from where you got it such as wordpress.org and upload the folder to your website in the wp-content, plugins folder.

If you see the plugin installed you will want to activate it for the plugin to be active on your site again.
