Is there not a reset switch to send it back to factory defaults?
Most modems routers have this, after you have reset it connect via ethernet and set up all the settings again.

Hi Script Kiddie

THe Belkin should have a reset button although the location may vary, check next to the power input or the base of the unit (it's recessed so you need to use a pen or similar ).

A normal press on this will reset, (restart), the router. If you however press and hold the button for ten seconds or so it should reset to factory defaults, then as Roy said you should be able to set everything back to how you want.

Reset it indeed, or if it has a serial or COM connection just connect to that via hyperterminal or telnet and log in to change settings that way.
