Actiontec WI424 misconfigured

I have Verizon FiOS with an Actiontec WI424 Wifi Router/Switch. It was
working well until I tried to get cute. The installer technition set
things up with the router IP of 192.168.1.1 and DHCP to assign IPs of
*1.2-*1.255 to the clients.

What I tried to do was change things so the router IP was
192.168.100.1 and the clients would get *100.2-*100.255.

I obviously screwed it up so now I can't get to the internet and I
can't even log into the router. My DHCP clients receive IPs in the
*100.2-255 range so it's sort of working.

I cannot ping 192.168.1.1.
I cannot ping 192.168.100.1
I cannot ping www.yahoo.com
Powering off / on the router didn't help
pushing the little reset button on the router didn't help.

I'm hosed. Please help. How do I log into the the Actiontec or reset
it or something.

btw, I was doing this so I could then attach a wifi-N router inside
the Actiontec router and have it use the 1.1 addresses thus looking
"better". Like I said, I got to cute.

I answered my own question.

With the power on (Power LED on front panel should be lit green), use
the pointed end of a paper clip to press and hold the Reset button for
10 seconds.

What's at the other end of the paperclip?
