If you made the change in your home directory .bash_profile or .bashrc file just comment it out and the PS1 will be read from /etc/bashrc file which issues PS1 globally with the default prompt. If you changed the /etc/bashrc then you'll have to change it back. It should look something like this:
[ "$PS1" = "\\s-\\v\\\$ " ] && PS1="[\u@\h \W]\\$ "

The software required `Windows 95 or better', so I installed Linux.
