I would assume you should be able to change parameter "timeout" back to 
the old value using this SQL statement in your database:

UPDATE systempreferences SET timeout="1d";

If you want to set timeout to one hour you probably need to change it to 
"3600" (meaning 3'600 seconds, the equivalent of 1 hour).

Hope this helps.

Best wishes: Michael
