I'm looking all over and all points are pointing to the one connector that I was messing with... it's possible that the paper clip I used was coated in something and was non-conductive. I'm going to try it again with something that I'm sure is conductive... question, is there possibly any damage to just having done what I did? Essentially what I did then is just unplug the connector and didn't short it (I'm assuming) is that damaging at all?

I'm not sure if this applies to all Preludes, but it might be of some use:
In order to get the code you'll need to find the service connector. On the 5th Gens it's on the right hand side of the centre console underneath a carpeted panel that just pops right out. The connector looks like a telephone connector and is plugged into a blue plastic piece that just serves as a holder. Unplug it and you'll see that it has two sockets in it that lead to two wires.
