HELP! I need to get into Safe mode myself!!!!

I just upgraded my cydia app on my phone which also downloaded an upgrade for Springboard. When the phone rebooted the theme I was using is now all scrunched up and I cannot enter my security code to get into my phone. The keypresses are not where the numbers are and I tried several times to enter my password just to have my phone disabled. I do not want to break into my phone I just need the default iphone screen to come up so I can enter my bloody password and get into my phone. Please help! I cannot get into my phone to get into cydia to make my phone go into safe mode. Is there any way I can force the phone into safe mode or is there any way I can delete the theme? I downloaded the i-fun app and I see everything on my phone but I do not know where it stores the themes I downloaded. I even installed OpenSSH but when I try to access the phone with it I am told that it cannot connect to the port or something.

I am running and iPhone 4. I am running 4.01 iOS.

Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. As of now my phone is worthless.

Thanks! I appreciate anything you can offer to assist me!

Where are the themes kept that are downloaded for springboard/winterboard? If I could just delete them or something. Anything to get my phone up in safe mode or something so that I can enter my password.

Here is a screen capture of my locked screen. The numbers in the bottom left hand corner had originally been much larger and in the middle of the screen but after the update of Springboard and the subsequent reboot this is how it then looked. I was unable to enter the numbers because the numbers were not properly linked to the data to simulate that numbered keypress. After a lot of trial and error and digging through directory after directory on my iphone using i-fun I was finally able to indentify the sub folder that holds the theme files. What a pain in the *** that was. I copied the directory over to my computer and then deleted the entire themes sub folder. The themes I had downloaded over the years were all located under the following directory (in case anyone else coming after me suffers this same fate and needs to figure this out themselves)

"iPhone 4G\Raw File System\private\var\stash\themes.P8i3cn" on my iPhone"

I know that the phone would reboot in safe mode IF it felt a theme was corrupted but in this case the phone did not see it as corrupted so it would not boot up in safe mode for me.

In the future in case anyone responds to this post, it would be nice to know if there is a way to manually force the phone to boot up in safe mode. I had to spend 3 hours digging through websites trying to figure this out because though i am tech savvy I do not spend a lot of time jacking with my phone. I had never used the i-FunBox application before. And luckily I had synched my phone with my laptop previously or I would not have been able to even do that.

Anyway, I wanted to let you know that I found a work around even if that work around involved me having to delete my entire themes folder and now I am back to my default iPhone theme.

All my best and happy new year to everyone.
