SuSE, VPS & firewall - Problem!

Hello everyone!

I've got a burning problem with my VPS running under SuSE with Plesk.
Well... I've tried to configure firewall thru YaST tool and I
configured sth badly cause I lost access to my server. No problem, I
though cause I still could switch to Repair Mode with Plesk... so I
did.
But the problem is, that when I'm changing anything while under Repair
Mode, after restart all changes are changing back to old/bad ones :/

I've tried to edit /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2 or even delete firwall
script from /init.d/ with no effect - files are returning after
restart.

My question is:
Could someone please tell me how to turn off this damn SuSEfirewall
and configure firewall in future only thru iptables ?

1) deinstall SuSEfirewall by yast/yast2
2) configure network devices not to use firewall (yast/yast2 -> network
card -> Change -> <choose network card> -> Edit -> Advanced -> Detailed
Settings -> Firewall Zone -> Firewall Disabled
or 3) just remove SUSEfirewall start scripts "rm
/etc/init.d/rc5.d/S*SuSEfirewall*"
