The same thing happened to me. I recomend leaving the power to the car unplugged as long as you can, 6 hours might work, but to be safe I would go overnight if possible. I took mine to the dealership and they reset it for no cost, as they should it only takes 4 minutes at the most. And they did say that leaving the power off for an extened time would do the trick. Hope this helps.
