Well, as you just found out, that wasn't such a clever idea after all. If you only changed the uid in that one place, I'd suggest you change it back to 5. After that, you should be able to log in again.
The uid used by the "contact" link is actually hard-coded in the theme (header.thtml), so you can simply change it there.
