iTunes could not connect... because it is locked with a passcode

_+The Error:+_
iTunes could not connect to the iPhone "t3l01v's iPhone" because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iPhone before it can be used with iTunes.

_+The Issue+_
I just installed the 3.0 software. The iTunes store was not available to activate my phone right away, which is normal, considering the 3.0 just came out. I have an Exchange email account configured on the phone which requires me to have a passcode set.

I can't enter my passcode because the phone is stuck on a display that says "Slide for Emergency" and is asking to connect to iTunes.

Pretty bad catch22 if you ask me. Can anyone help?

iPhone 3G, iPhone OS 3.0, ...bricked....
