Run this query on your phpmyadmin (replace the prefix with the name you choose)

SELECT * FROM `wp_b45666_options` WHERE `option_name` LIKE '%wp_%'

Replace all the occurrence of the prefix with the new one

You also need to run the following query in the usermeta table and replace all the occurrence of the prefix like you did above
