There is no need to reinstall if you couldn't get back into run level 5. Just reboot the machine. If it still wont load into run level 5 then /etc/inittab so as the line
id:x:initdefault
is reading to run level 5 when booting. Where x is make that a 5 if it already isn't. You can change to whatever runlevel you want to from editing the /etc/inittab file to the run level you want.
here is a copy of something I found on the web for the run levels.
Runlevel Meaning

3 Full multiuser with network
4 Unused
