Thanks so much for the quick reply.

Before I try the password, could you tell me if I installed the HDS correctly?
I ask this because whenever I follow the installation videos where it tells me to choose the registry keys at the end, I run into a problem. When HDS tries to connect to the vehicle, I get the "HDS cannot find the CM Update calibration files on the PC. Please reinstall the CM Update on the PC."
So earlier today, after factory resetting my laptop and doing a fresh install of HDS 3.017.012, I did NOT add the registry keys and HDS seems to be working fine--minus the lock out.

Edit: are those passwords for attempt 14? I didn't try anything after taking the screenshot of #14.

Release password should not relate to VIN and date, try these...
Attmp #14: 3A640
Attmp #15: CCBC1

I'm not expert on Honda but I think you can easily find the CM problem and answers on the forum.
