Local Drupal Installation

I got Drupal running locally on my machine and boy am I glad. I am now able to work at home.  I did it using MAMP (refers to the tech stack: Mac - Apache - MySQL - PHP).  Now I can mess around as much as I want and not have to worry about BTMs Drupal installation.  

I've already made a pretty big boo boo.  I was trying to figure out how block placement worked, there is an option to have blocks only show up on certain pages.  Well I accidentally set the login block to appear on a page that didn't exist (actually it wasn't accidental, but it was stupid).  Than I logged out...  

I can't log back in!!  It's not that big a deal, there is nothing in the database so if I can't find another solution I can just reinstall Drupal and drop all the template stuff back in.  I am trying to figure out how to fix it without doing that, just to get a better feel for the system.
