Autel IM608 IM508 Device Locked Solution

Problem 1:

My Autel MaxiIM IM608 was locked after programming the key on hyundai sonata. I just programmed a key on a car brought from the USA. I didn’t do anything else. 5 minutes after the programming, it turned off itself and since then it doesn’t turn on and issues this error.

Problem 2:

Happened to me after updating OS
