You can ALWAYS log in at the console using lish/glish.
Go to https://cloud.linode.com & log in. Click on "Launch LISH Console" next to the name of the Linode you want to access. You can then undo whatever it is that you did & get ssh(1) back. You need to make sure your web browser is not blocking pop-ups.
Note that logging in at the console is problematic for running screen mode editors like vim(1). Console messages (of which there are many) will interrupt your screen-mode session and generally make your life miserable. Still, if it's your last resort you shouldn't mind that.
Also, note that logging into the console is not ssh(1). It's a special "console" session.
