Unhappy missing password box from kindle 3

"Again, if you're having issues with the Fonts hack (missing fonts, blank pages/menu, ...), do try to use one of the new freetype override settings! In the same vein, disable your Kindle's password before switching fonts, there's been reports that a messed up font will prevent the password box from popping up, in which case you won't be able to unlock your device... And that probably means a hard reset to factory defaults will be needed to clear things up, and that's never fun ;'(."

I tried the installing the font hack last night and this is what exactly happened to my kindle 3. I cannot access the password box so I cannot open my kindle. My computer cannot read the device either because you have to enter the password first before you can connect to a computer. My question is how can I do this hard reset to factory setting without the password box? I've tried doing the 15sec hold to reset thing, it doesn't solve the problem. Please help... I'm getting a bit desperate. Thank you.
