Web Part Maintenance

Sometimes, a corrupted web part can not only take down your page, but also prevent you from you from opening the page in edit mode. To circumvent this error, simply navigate directly to the Web Part Maintenance page for any site by appeading ?contents=1 at the end or the URL.

For example:
http://mysharepointsite/default.aspx?contents=1

From the Web Part Maintenace page, deleted the misbehaving web part, and all will be well again.
