overshot X axis using Mach 3 software

Working in a very tight area and unfortunately pressed X+ instead of X- and over shot the limit switch. How do I get the machine to allow me to jog off, Cannot get the rest button to stop on, so cannot do any moves.?

Go into config and disable the limit switch.

in Settings (Alt-6) screen is a button called
OverRide Limits
for this situation, it will allow you to jog off the limit switch and will be disabled
automatcly if the limit switch is free. so nothing to change in config and nothing
will be forgoten.
