Please HELP! Hawk 250 Ignition Open Shut Switch Switch

[HawkTwoFifty]

So I was was tinkering with my new Hawk 250 tonight and saw a switch on my ignition labeled "open" and "shut" and switched the lever to "shut" to see what it does. The lever shut easily by hand and the purpose of this option was to cover the entry of the ignition key so that my key wont be able to access the key slot. So after discovering this neat feature, I tried to open this switch back up but it WONT OPEN by hand! So I am unable to now fit my key into the key slot to start my bike because this sliding cover is now fully over my ignition key slot!

Can someone PLEASE tell me how I can open this switch back up to the "open" position?? It switched to the "close" position SO EASILY, but now it seems to be LOCKED in the CLOSED position so I am unable to insert my key to start my bike!!! Is this normal? And if so, can someone PLEASE tell me how I may get this switch back to the "open" position because it refuses to be switched back to open!!!

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
