Development tools console..trying to delete a username.

I opened up my console and wanted to delete the treehouse username. I accidentally ran

kill -9 -1

as the treehouse user. My console window is now black. Is it gone forever? Is it possible to get it back?

If you are using the treehouse console, try closing the tab and clicking the launch console button again

Tried that. When I relaunched the console, a window appears, but no tabs. When I click the wrench in the top-right corner and 'add a tab' or 'add a window,' it appears for a few seconds and then it's gone. When I click 'view in browser', it doesn't load.

After clearing browser cache and cookies I loaded it up again and a quick message said "permission denied." Then it went black.
