Hey - thanks for the reply. I had set the password prior to a "friend" doing the bypass (which didn't work, btw) - and when he had everything the dash and everything back together - the touchscreen wouldn't work at all. I tried touching the 3 spots as when I'd set up the password - but that didn't work either. So - I reset the unit.
LONG STORY SHORT - I went to a local audio shop today and they looked at it - found that a couple of wires were loose - so he fixed it....AND fixed the bypass while he was there. So - I'm back up and running again and LOVING IT!!
Thanks again, for the reply. I'd searched the forums about bypassing the security screen - but the posts weren't exactly recent....and was hoping that maybe someone had found a way around it. But it's all good now.
