I realized right away that FoxFi asking for a pincode wasn't just for their app (which it should have been), but was for the phone itself. I didn't write the darn thing down.
I had to do a Factory Reset and start all over.
I highly recommend that you install Kies 3.0 on your PC and the phone. It can help us klutzes restore our phones to the OEM condition it was in Before we fowled it all up.... dumb me, didn't know this until after the fact....
See this post on Kies: http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s5/847194-micro-sd-problem.html#post6563448
This from a prior post I made...

Well, just tried to turn it on.... missed the password "of course" because it is to hard for fumble fingers. dumb me for getting tricked into this mess.
But, I did get a message that if I do it 9 more times, the phone will be reset to Factory Defaults and all User Data will be lost.
So, worst case, I loose 4 weeks of fine tuning this thing to my liking....
Updates to follow...... count down 10 times.....
Erasing SD Card
Android figure showing "Erasing.......................................... ."
Main bootscreen coming up.........................
Verizon red screen, so ugly.....
waiting................... waiting...................
"Please wait while we prepaire your phone.............
choose language
Sim Card message, it still knows who I am
Verizon Cloud Setup..... chose what to backup, I only use "contacts"
had to setup Yahoo email again.....
skipped entering 'gmail account'.... don't want that cluttering up the mix just yet
Well, just discovered that I have not backed up my Contacts List in eons.... it is sooo old, I have lost a lot of fine tuning there.
but at least I have my phone back working.... but in the OEM default configuration.
not my first choice, but definitely better than going through the efforts of getting Samsung to unlock it by remote control...
.
Lesson learned...... do NOT ever assign a pincode unless you enjoy life being strapped to a pin pad. Same goes for a Password. I will never, ever do that again.
The swipe pattern is good enough.
