I decided to upgrade one of my boxes to Hardy from Dapper. Here's the thing, I had my screen saver on, like a moron, and it's also password protected...The screen saver engaged, and now I can't unlock it! Help! I'm going to lose everything!

When I move the mouse, the screen saver goes blank, and there is no password dialog. Then a few seconds later, the screen saver comes back. What do I do?

I have Hardy on another computer on the LAN, is there a way to hack in and kill the screen saver? (BTW, I don't think I have SSH enabled...)
