Default Reset Married VCI On SEPST

First...I'm sorry if this has been asked. I searched and went through like 100 pages and didn't really find a definite answer.
Second...I know, okay. I KNOW. But I'm just asking...Is there ANY way to reset a SEPST that's already been married to another bike? Memory flash? Series of button pushes? Giant magnet? Yell at it repeatedly? Banging against the wall a few times? Anything?

I got a SEPST from someone and it seems like it's just a poorly designed paperweight.

Yes there is but it's not something easily done and unless you already own the programmer and the software it's not worth the effort.

Yes I have the tuner. And the software. Got any links or anything?

No not the tuner and the software. A programmer for the particular chip on the circuit board that needs to be changed.

Oh, you mean like an EEPROM burner? Let’s assume I have one of those (I used to service old *** fire alarm panels).

Open up the SEPST and have a look at the chips on the board and identify them and then search for the programmer and software and all will be revealed.
It is the same programmer they use to reprogram car radios and sat systems on BMW, Mercedes etc. with a few modifications you will need to make it work on a SEPST
It is a protected chip but with software available you can bypass security once you are hooked up to it correctly.

Thanks, @scotty3. Being that I got it for free, it's worth opening up and giving it a try. If I have any success at all, I'll post findings here. If my garage catches on fire and/or Matthew Levatich shows up and takes away my bike I'll post videos.

I have reset with success most of the popular tuners out there, the harley tuners use a motorola (now freescale) MCU mc9s12dp512, atleast the models I own, you will need to find out how to get into the eeprom and erase the old info from there, this info applies for most of the tuners except for the PV, that one is trickier

fwiw, I don't think the SEPST is worth fooling with. we paid $350 or so for the unit & the cable, its a piece of junk, VERY bulky to use, have to carry a laptop to do ANYTHING.

just buy a Power Vision and be tuning within minutes.
