Did a little internet research, loaded a program onto a microSD and used it to find what password had been set, which let me unlock the thing and reset the password.

I still have the files if this is the problem you have with your HU.
Mine isn't pw protected, it asks for the SD card. I don't think mine is a pioneer unit.
