Sorry, but you must reinstall and start over.

One way is to File-> Restore to a backup that preceded the problem.
If you have no suitable backup, this is an opportunity to review
your backup strategy.

Alternatively you can remove the institution name from the wrong
account in the account details. Import to the right account, and
restore the institution to the account you removed it from.

I was importing .ofx files into Money 2004 when I
imported one of them into the wrong account. I deleted
the imported transactions from the account, but now when
I try to re-import the file, it automatically puts the
transactions into the wrong (although previously
selected) account. Needless to say, it's quite
irritating.

How do I make it so the import asks which account is the
target for the import?
