Jordan, I just finished the same exact thing on my 1400c. Start up with the OS cd (System 9 is what I used), holding the Apple, option, shift, and delete keys to force start up from the cd. Choose CLEAN INSTALL from the OPTIONS button window. This will install a clean system and keep your old stuff intact in Previous System Folder. You may just be able to go to the drive before you start up and delete the Multiple Users control panel or open it from there and reset it. Experiment, because you can always take the more disrupting step, but you can't undo a complete initialization. Try the least destructive step first, then go on until you succeed. Good luck!
