We are all volunteers here, so if you were expecting some sort of instantaneous response, then you are going to have to lower your expectations. We answer when we have time or when we see a post. I responded to your question when I saw it. You were the one who decided to go ahead with your decision to reset your device. The onus is on you....
Best of luck,
