I tried adjusting my repeat rate for the keyboard, on Snow Leopard, by using the following:

defaults write NSGlobalDomain KeyRepeat -int 0
defaults write NSGlobalDomain InitialKeyRepeat -int 7

I wish to set the InitialKeyRepeat value to its default setting, how could I go about doing that? Could someone check and let me know the value of the InitialKeyRepeat they are using?
