Don't worry, we have already documented this:

If you want to set your site back on-line, just visit the Emergency Off-Line page and click on the Set Online button. This will replace the off-line .htaccess file with the contents of the .htaccess.eom backup file and remove the backup file. If this doesn't work, follow this manual procedure:

  1. Using an FTP application of your liking remove the .htaccess file, or upload a blank .htaccess file overwriting the old one.

  2. Rename the .htaccess.eom backup file back to .htaccess
