Ideally you should perform the manual failover when both servers are still working. Only use the FORCE_SERVICE_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS option on the mirror if the principal has gone down unexpectedly.

When both servers are up you can perform manual failover from whichever one is currently the principal. So in your case now:
1. Start the original principal
2. Connect to the original mirror, which is now functioning as the principal
3. Issue the following on the principal (the original mirror)
ALTER DATABASE AdventureWorks SET PARTNER FAILOVER
