Default Help Computer locked what to do

I had the car tuned after mods and and the car was fine until now, I installed 4.10 gears and the weather has turned colder here in Texas, the problem is that the RPMs hangs between shifts and it takes a little bit for the idle to settle down to normal, the tuner I used is 125 miles away and I now have a local tuner I would Like to use, the problem is I am told the computer is locked and the only thing I can do is go back to the first tuner or replace the computer and start all over. are there any other options?

I would take the computer out and send it your tuner in the morning.

Or tow it to the dealer and have the stock tune put back in.

It depends on the software used to lock it and the software being used to try and access it now. If both were LS2 Edit a simple upgrade to version 2.0 would allow access and would prevent locking in the future.

I believe the computer was locked using the LS tune and the two tuners I have talked to use the HP tune, I am not sure what the difference is!! this is way over my head!!
