Did the same and the only way to do it is to buy new remote, but don't panick as only cost 13.99 from Amazon
It appears that the remote is needed to reset the lamp timer. While it may not be possible to get an original replacement remote there are substitute remotes available from http://remotes.com/store/nec/7n900521.html They have the all important HELP button but with substitute remotes you can never be 100% certain that it will solve your problem. However they do offer a 1 year money back guarantee so I'd say it's your best chance.

just replaced the lamp on my NEC VT670. The machine will not power on and I cannot follow the instructions because I do not have a remote. How can I reset the lamp timer without the remote? Plase advise w/o remote.
