Getting Past Initial Activation w/o TouchScreen???

[TheInspirePrompt]

Ok, so i fell in a pool at work, my phone was soaked. i put it in a large bag of rice to absorb the moisture.. was left for 24 hours & ping.. the phone turns on, & works... but not touchscreen. feeling good that a hard reset will probably bring it on back to life, so i execute the factory setting (without backing up...so stupid) now i am brought to the intial touch andriod to begin screen with no way to proceed... after some more tinkering & research i have tryd the ##778 option & another.. & i am unable to place in demo mode & then register it with the qwerty KB because of the shot touch screen..

ANY SUGGESTIONS?????

If i could get through the activation without the touchscreen i could register from within & have complete use except the use of the n the closed position really
