Use

If you can't get init3 to work, search out the pid and kill it.

Very true, if you are not running a graphical login manager (xdm, gdm, kdm).  Killing the X process will just cause the manager to spawn a new one.  If one is not running a graphical login manager, the X process can be also killed with CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE.
