Default PCM is locked

I had my truck tuned with HP tuners and then i took it back to get a stock tune. Last night another buddy tried to tune my truck and he cannot have acces to my truck because the computer is locked. How can i unlock it or what can i do. Thanks in advance.

The dealer has ultimate control. They can use the techII / TIS system and return the truck to stock. If your "TUNER" will not unlock it he is a *****.......
