I don't know if the reset works in these code problems but it has resolved many other cases if cluster is doing strange things it's not supposed to do.

I think it should work as the code it's asking for is the last 5 digits anyway.

This immobiliser CODE is different thing compared to cluster hidden menu and its password. That CODE can be set if the owner so chooses but in these cases the cluster has activated the function on its own.
