I use phpMyAdmin to manage my database. Here’s what you need to do:

  1. Go to the wp_options table in your database
  2. Browse the data in this table and find the option with the name ‘widget_recent_comments’
  3. Edit this option and change the last number (it should be ’5′ by default) to the number of recent comments you would like to display: a:2:{s:5:"title";s:0:"";s:6:"number";i:5;}

Of course, it’s quite likely that there is a setting for this in the admin panel that I’ve overlooked – I was unable to find it.
