Thanks, that's what I tried first but it wouldn't respond to any keys since it was in password mode and essentially locked...

I did however just find a way (I believe, it is still restarting and 'preparing for first use' which is a good sign) to trick the phone into doing a hard reset.

I pulled out the battery, then re-inserted it, held down the end/sleep button at the same time, it started in Bootloader mode, and I simply had 2 choiced: 1) Reset to Factory settings, or 2) Reset to customer configuration.

I had/have no idea what the difference is between the two, because I thought I totally wiped the Verizon Factory settings when I flashed to the MightyROM Dec. 19th version, but my only guess would be Volume up would be back to Verizon and Volume down would be back to a freshly flashed MightyROM?

Anyway - I selected Volume down, and it is in the process of installing and going through a few automatic soft-resets now...

If anyone can clarify what the difference between using Volume Up and Volume Down on the Bootloader screen was, I'd appreciate it - just out of curiosity is all. THANKS!

EDIT: SUCCESS! The phone just went through all 2 or 3 soft-resets and installed MightyROM and is not operations and does not request a password! AWESOME. (I chose the Volume Down options as I mentioned earlier, to "Reset to Custom Configuration")
