There are five ways to recover from this that I know of:
 1. Use the aux port if aux configured, switch cable
 2. Telnet to the router if vty available
 3. Type fast, use space or up/down keys
 4. Password recovery, copy start, modify, paste
 5. Create script, paste in.

If exec password also changed, 4. is the only choice.

Cheers, Fred.
