Default Friend having problems with resolution

Well a friend of mine has managed to change his resolution to a resolution that is out of range on his monitor, and now doesn't know how to change it back.

He can get into safe mode fine, however changing the resolution doesn't change anything when booting up normally.
I have tried to provide a complete keyboard directions to how you would change the resolution, however that doesn't seem to do anything either.

So I am asking if anyone else has any idea of what to try.

Thanks
