Trying to access the direct console, now hung when I did ALT+F1 ESX 5.5

I want to get into the console to verify the network card information from the command line. I had gotten into the console to enable the shell (F2).

I started googling and saw to enter the console hit ALT+F1 at the console screen. So at the yellow screen I did that keystroke and now the console

seems hung. All I see is a one line short banner telling me it's ESX 5.5. No keystroke or combination of keystrokes gets me out of it.

How can I get back to the point where I can at least see the regular screen? Then get into the command line?
