You need to reset the PS3. I can't remember exactly but it was holding down the power button for a few seconds or something. It's explained in your manual.

when you turn on the ps3 keep your finger on the power buttton (the touch one, not the switch on the back) for another 5 seconds. you will hear the ps3 beep 3 times then reset. when it comes back on all display settings should be default. No it will not erase everything on the HDD. I do it all the time.
