Gryphon says its locked to another vehicle??

[crash_lucky13]

2002 Ford F150 5.4 2wd with a gryphon for a little over 2 years now i think. it's never been hooked up to another vehicle and has only been removed 2 or 3 times since i've had it. it hasnt been removed in the past 4 months. i have level 1 loaded (i have custom tunes) and went to change it last night to level 2 and it says that it's locked to another vehicle. this is the first time it's ever happened.

i tried returning it to stock, all 3 levels, even customizing a tune but it wont let me do anything. the only thing i can think that has happened since the last time i changed the tune (about a month) is my battery died on my truck for about 2 days... it's been dead before but never where i could access my tunes and change them out...

any suggestions?

Here's an idea to try.....

Unplug the unit, turn the key on, then plug the programmer back in.

Maybe, an OBDII cable problem. If the Gryphon is two years old, this could be the case. And, if you left the Gryphon plugged in and jump started the truck, it could have fried the circuit board in the cable.
