Default C5 help!!!!

Hello everyone, I'm sad to say I bought my first Corvette (2000 Convertible) last Tuesday and after driving it around 100 miles I made the mistake to push the Automatic Traction Control button at a stop light. About 200 feet later the "low engine power" displayed and I was forced to do 5 mph. for about 3 miles home. It has been in the shop since Friday and they can't break the code to turn off the ATC button...what do I do? I miss my Vette....it's the 5.7 LS1 thanks...

Sounds like this newby needs a mods help in navigating the site. Like maybe moving the thread to tech. Would not want a newby getting discouraged with the site.
