in the lilo prompt in the begining write : linux single
the you can log in as a single user ( without password) and your graphical
login wont take effect.

then you can either rechange your resolution using Xconfigurator.
or in the file /etc/inittab change the runlevel back to text login
changing the :5: to :3: or :2: in the line.

and then you can login as text user and either keep it or do whatever
changes you want.
