Did you get this reset??
If not, I notice that your procedure for NVRAM INIT is not correct..
For NVRAM INIT : When the memory counts, press & hold the UP arrow 'til all lights come on, then release the up & press & release the down arrow..then press the MENU button &release, then press & release the CHECK button...it should respond with NV RAM INIT...Press the CHECK again & release....then wait...
It should do the complete re-init which should clear the Password..
