can't get to unlock screen [answered]

I've done it now. While at OpenRepos I saw that one of my favorite apps, Xplanet-background, had an update. I pulled the pulley menu and said, sure, update it. Next time I fired up the phone, before I got to the login screen came the word "Xplanet" and nothing else. I can pull down the top menu but not get to, for instance the top menu settings. I can't log in, so I can't SSH in. Looking via normal browser on the Xplanet-background site in OpenRepos, I see that much has changed and Xplanet won't work with the olf configuration files, but nothing about it locking up the damned phone. Anyway: is there a way to force a terminal boot or something? Because as it is, I can't log onto my phone to make the changes necessary . . . to log onto my phone.
Swiping left or right does nothing. Word "Xplanet" in large type near bottom of the screen is all there is. If I could kill the Xplanet-background app or log in I could easily fix it. But only response I can get at all is downward swipe to top menu -- and nothing there works. No, I take that back, brightness slider works, but nothing else. If I could get a command prompt I could fix this, I think.
Even double-tap the power button doesn't take you to the device lock page?
