Hot Tub Pump problem....?

So I just bought a house with a hot tub. The first time I used it I think I may have leaned up against a port where the pump circulates water into the tub and blocked the water flow, which seems to have caused the entire system to shut off. How do I fix this? I've tried resetting the breakers and whatnot, but the pump system and heater will not turn back on.

    look for a trap door right near the tub that may have an additional reset button, in addition to the breakers "and whatnot" you already reset. If you were able to stop the system, you probably blocked the inward water line, pulling water from the tub to the pump. This could cause the pump to run on dry lines and heat up enough to trip a breaker. So your goal of looking for a breaker is good, but look closer to the pump motor itself, rather than the house electric panel if you already tried that.
