Remove one memory stick. Then do as BD suggests.
BDAqua reminds me:
Then, the PRAM must be reset 3 times. (Command + Option + p + r).

You cannot restore without cd/dvds. This isn't as big of a deal as Windows. Mac OS X is a lot more secure than Windoze, so there isn't that much to worry about. See above for one way to acquire discs.
