Dabbled with mac address and locked myself out

Well, I tried to implement the wireless connection via mac addresses and
surely did something wrong. Now I cannot access the internet or the router
to undo what I did. Is there a way around this? Is the reset button on the
router supposed to help?

Using windows xp and dlink router.

Most of them you hold the reset button in for about ten seconds while
it's powered up, it goes back to factory settings. Did you set it allow
only your MAC addresses?

All is well. I was only holding the reset for about 5 seconds. It really did
take 10 seconds of holding the reset button in to make the router go back to
default.

For when you do it again... You may have locked yourself out via
wireless, but that has no effect on the routers ethernet ports. Just
plug a CAT5 cable into the router and computah and temporarily bypass
the wireless part of the puzzle. Fix the configuration and you're
back in business. No need to reset everything.
