It's too late now of course, but I wish you asked the list about
getting into the box - I would've been glad for the chance to help you
out :-)
If it happens again, you can run x11vnc over ssh then VNC to the box
and control it remotely. Assuming your X is on ":0" it'd be something
like:

$ sudo apt-get install x11nc; DISPLAY=:0 screen -d x11vnc

Cheers
Chris
