Not the point: computer being locked out and not working for the next 24 hours is the point.
I strongly suspect removing the battery and perhaps waiting a few seconds for caps to discharge would clear any lock-out, but maybe not: they cold have put in a supercapacitor or something. Even if it works it'd clear out your accumulated gas loading, dep. on where you are in your dive trip you'll have to guesstimate how to compensate with extra conservatism.
Happened to wife's backup last trip when she totally messed up a setting and didn't notice until it locked out. It is an Oceanic VEO 2.0 and taking the battery out for hours did not clear it. Only time did.
