Glow Worm 50?

I cant relight my boiler (its about 20 years old). A friend said to press the reset button but my boiler does not seem to have one

The piezzo is working I think (I got a slight shock from the wire leading from it).

It went out because the pre-pay meter ran out of money overnight (and the emergency money does not automatically kick in).

I have followed the instructions exactly but the pilot does not seem to light.

Is it safe to try and light it with a long taper or do I need to get someone in - Im job seeker and dont have the money to pay most of my bills let alone a gas contractor and would hate to have to pay someone a lot of money just to turn the dam thing on.

Anyone help?
