You can't change the prefix after the install, you can only change it before the install. The setting is only there in case you've previously changed the value and you're just upgrading the forum (the database already has a different prefix than "smf_"). If the installer sets the database table prefix, that's it, the prefix is set, the tables in the database are created with that prefix.

Another option is to manually edit the database and change the prefix to... whichever value you want (I would go with ANSI latin avoiding dots, have no idea what symbols are supported by database engines).

If it's a fresh install (new forum), delete everything (files + database), install it again, change the prefix during the install, you should be good to go ;).

You can change the table prefix in the database using phpmyadmin.  The prefix must agree with $db_prefix in Settings.php.
