I have a pyramid gold series ps-14k that went into protection after having a device hooked up to it backwards.

Now when I turn it on (multimeter shows 12 volts) with no load it powers up fine but when I put any load on it the protection circuit goes back on. If its left on the beeping and blinking light get quieter and dimer.

What do I need to do to restore this supply into a working state?

Without looking at a schematic and doing a few other probe checks, I would suspect that a pass transistor has shorted in it.
You may get some other suggestions as well. ;)
