Nope. Had this happen with my wife's phone. Because developer mode had not been enabled previously and the screen was completely inactive, there was absolutely no way to wipe the phone.

Choice was either pay a stupid amount of money to get the screen repaired (and I've had a bad experience with screen repairs actually working) or bin the phone and hope that nobody bothers to try and fix and then gain access. :/
