Type this into the Terminal:

hit enter, then restart the Dock by typing in:
killall Dock
and hit enter again.

I'm guessing that since this
defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -bool 'YES'
makes it old-style, that this
defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -bool 'NO'
makes it back to normal.
But that's entirely a guess.
since im on a roll of trying things without knowing the result ill give it a shot
... no dice on that got an error... i probably should be careful before really trying too much

You must have made a typo, Tallest Skil's guess is correct (since it was a while since I messed with Dock styles, I did double check and it works).
defaults delete com.apple.dock no-glass
^Should work as well. I'm pretty sure if the Dock doesn't see the no-glass key, and is on the bottom, it will always start 3D.

You can download the source code and it puts a pref pane in you System Preferences. You can change the dock from 3D to 2D black and move it to the left right or middle as well as other terminal commands in a GUI.
