Copies of SDD/Pathfinder with offline/confirmed login details are available on various auction sites, as are genuine VCI cables, Panasonic Toughbooks et al as are bundles of all three if you look hard enough.

You could reset it yourself if you encounter an arsey dealer (of which there are plenty). I'm beginning to think that this will become a mandatory investment for anyone wishing to keep their vehicle long term.
