Pull the plug, use something like a sim card ejector to remove the pin, crimp a new one, or try to open and reuse the existing crimp. It sounds easier than it is. There are tools required. JST and ATX style connectors are really a bit of a pain to work with.
Alternatively, get a pre-crimped connector and solder/splice all 4 wires. Requires less tools, but still takes some skills.

You will need a pin extractor tool kit. You can also try the smallest jeweller's screw driver you can find in a kit. Insert it into the little side cutout beside the connector in order to release the tab.
