When it happened to me it was suggested that I leave it to time out.  I had 
waited a good while before panicking, but perhaps not long enough.  I think 
that it happened again a few days later, and leaving it did eventually bring 
a time-out, but it was much longer than I would have thought.

I *think* I configured the network at install time, but I couldn't swear to 
it.  If you can get it to time-out, though, you can re-do the configuration 
once you are in.  If it doesn't time out at all, it's probably a different 
problem.
