Unlocking the Keyboard

After attempting to type in a protected field, an X appears in the OIA (Operator Information Area) and the keyboard becomes locked. How can I recover from this situation without disconnecting and reconnecting the session?
The RESET host key must be issued to unlock the keyboard and allow input from the user. By default, the PASSPORT and IBM keyboard maps have RESET mapped to the left Ctrl key, while the EXTRA keyboard map has it mapped to the Esc key.
