@ripkindlepw: IIRC, passcode handling is pernicious enough to massively inhibit USBMS exports. Enough so that I *think* this made it into the docs as a "DO NOT unless you want to shoot yourself in the foot".

If that still holds true and you don't have USBNet enabled at boot, nor the RescuePack + CRP, that's... problematic.

There might possibly a way to force a factory reset, but without touch input *nor* USBMS/USBNet, I don't really see how OTOH...

That said, if the softlock/deadlock is reproducible even after a hard-reboot, that's highly suspicious, unless the passcode screen is hiding what's really happening behind the scenes...
