The forgetting of being is not be overcome by prodding your memory; it's not you who have forgotten something, like your password or where you parked your car. You are there just because of the forgetting of being, the self-conscious subject is what attempts to make up for it. Perhaps it is more like forgetting the steps of a dance. You stumble around trying to find an entry point that will let you back in but self consciousness blocks you in every direction. If you were to suddenly re-enter the dance the flailing self would simply vanish, and awareness would open onto a completely different world, although your body would be in the exact same place.
