Help Req - Cat ran script, lost HDMI video.

MiSTer was working perfectly fine. I decided to run Update_All and that completed fine and rebooted.
I was back into the script menu when my cat decided to jump onto me and I ran a random script by accident. I'm 90% sure it was called "video_settings_optimal". It completed before I knew what was going on and all seemed to be okay; however, after I rebooted I get no signal over HDMI. Power cycling the MiSTer, TV and AVR hasn't helped.
I assume there's a quick fix for this that won't require me starting from scratch, but I don't have another display so I'll be flying blind if I need to navigate the menus to run another script. My menu is basically at default with only addition being the update_all script.
Appreciate any assistance.

Pun intended? Sorry, couldn't resist ='_'=
Grab a fresh mister.ini
from here, put it in media/fat/ on your sd card, overwriting the old one. See if that fixes it.

Lol, nice pun.
Thanks, I'll attempt and report back, but it'll have to wait about a day due to my work schedule.

The cat probably was jealous of all the attention MiSTer was getting.

General advice: In cases like this it can be nice to have SMB (my fave), FTP, etc. set up so, as long as networking is up, you can jump into the MiSTer filesystem to try fixes from your PC.

Also an advice, once your MiSTer.ini suits your needs make a backup. It is a crucial file and more then once I was happy to have a backup. It is not overly complicated to configure the MiSTer again, but time consuming to remember all the different settings you made.

I can see video again, yay! Thank you all.
@akeley - going back to the default MiSTer.ini file worked, thank you. I compared the two and there were certainly some video setting changes between them.
To the others... I'll be keeping a backup now, ha. I'll also try and setup access directly to the MiSTer via my network as that would have made things a bit easier this morning.
