Please help!!! Pix 501 issue

Today I issued the following command into my cousin's company's pix 501 through the PDM:
static (inside,outside) 70.88.231.137 192.168.0.25 netmask 255.255.255.255 0 0

After I did that the firewall stopped passing traffic altogether. Now I can't even VPN into it to reverse the change. I'm thinking the only way is to power down and up the firewall since I didn't get a chance to save to flash.

I was just trying to do some port forwarding for a web application.

Can someone at least tell me what that command did?
You setup a NAT so that all traffic going to 70.88.231.137 will be passed to 192.168.0.25,  you would now need to set a access list to allow the traffic thru, thats why everything is being dropped.  Just reboot if you did not save the config.
I missed your objective in that last line.  This should take care of your access list.

Access-list out-in perm tcp any host 70.88.231.137 eq 80
Access-group out-in in interface outside
>After I did that the firewall stopped passing traffic altogether.
   Let me guess, 70.88.231.137 is the IP address of the outside interface, right?  If so, & you want to forward web traffic to your internal server, do this:

no static (inside,outside) 70.88.231.137 192.168.0.25  <- skip if you already rebooted PIX without saving config
static (inside,outside) tcp 70.88.231.137 80 192.168.0.25 80
clear xlate
access-list inbound_acl permit tcp any host 70.88.231.137 eq 80
access-group inbound_acl in interface outside

FYI: Never use a dash '-' in ACL names! Underscore as above is ok.  If you already have an ACL on the outside interface, replace "inbound_acl" with the name/number of your existing ACL.

If I just had "sent" the command to the pix, doesn't mean that it saved it to flash, right?

Also, my web application runs on port 8080

how can i just apply port forwarding such that all traffic going to 70.88.231.137 on port 8080 will be forwarded to 192.168.0.25 on port 8080?
 As I said before, just substitute 8080 for 80 in my previous post.  eg:
static (inside,outside) tcp 70.88.231.137 8080 192.168.0.25 8080
clear xlate
access-list inbound_acl permit tcp any host 70.88.231.137 eq 8080
access-group inbound_acl in interface outside
