I'm Dumb, I have proof

Probably more examples, but the latest is that I have managed to disable the keys with PA Soft, now I cannot start my X5.

I'm not sure where I screwed up, but I did.

The battery died a few weeks ago, and I used the jumper cables to start the car and bring it into my garage so the charger could be connected. One of the keys died in the process. It will not lock or unlock the doors anymore with the buttons -- it still has all features when putting it into the door lock. The 4x4 light came on also. Additionally, even when the keys worked, I wanted to change some behaviors -- 1 button push to unlock all doors instead of a push for the driver door and another for the rest of the doors, and auto door lock on drive-away.

In any case, I could not get the 4x4 light to go out, and there is an error stored in the transfer case module about CAN communications.

Working on the key issue, I could not get the errant key to work. It can easily be the battery inside of the key, but is it a remarkable circumstance that the key battery would crap at the same moment as the main car battery. I was thinking that there was in initialization error between the key and the car. Whatever. In the process of getting the errant key to work, I have managed to make the working key fail too. Now I have 2 keys and both will not start the car. One of them started the day not responding to button presses, now it does not start the car either; the other key did everything right and now it does not start -- it still responds to button presses.

Upon Engine Start, nothing happens. The symptom set is similar to putting the gear selector in a position that is not P or N. Lights work, all that sort of thing. Just, no start.

Using PA Soft, looking at EWS, the keys both report WRONG PASSWORD, and WRONG RANDOM CODE.

How do I recover the password and code using PA Soft?
