New Lcd For Old G3

Last night I hooked up a new monitor to my old G3.
The settings were not correct so I went into the control panel and adjusted the monitor setting. This I did incorrectly and the display, and the old one, will not decipher the new setting and shuts off. I think it is 75 x 75. I can turn on the computer with the extensions off, but can not re adjust the display settings. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks
Eric

01. Plug in the old monitor.

1-Try resetting the Pram. Start holding these keys down until you hear three chimes;

Command-Option-P-R keys

4. Restart the computer.
