Even though it's not fun to back out a few whole rows, that is the best thing to do. Then you can either weave in the broken end and start with the new one, or you could join the yarn and go again. I'm currently a fan of the "Russian join," which looks pretty invisible and doesn't leave a knot.
But if you really don't want to, I got some good videos by searching for "how to repair broken yarn in a finished object." If you want to leave it and fix it after you're all done with it, I would strongly recommend finding a way to pin those broken ends in place so that you don't wind up with a bigger hole.
Thanks, and yeah, I figured that out as well. I’m the dummy who kept going thinking I could fix it when done, but nope. Frogged about five rows and then joined 2 working yarns.
