Default faulty dme (engine computer) 2005 mini

I have been diagnosed with a bad computer which costs about 2 grand for a new one plus labor to reset. so i bought a used one from from a wrecking yard, with matching numbers, but the tech said he cant figure out how to get around the the theft deterrent system. Does anyone know someone who is knowledgable in this field?
thank you In a 2005 mini base model

Most that use wrecking yard computers still need the dealer to reset/reupload and

i'll bet that the antitheft is a partt of that ...

dealer charged $120 to do the neighbors
