Chip not recognised

My father in law hasnt used his car in about 3 weeks, tried to start it and the battery is dead. Looks like he left the keys in the ignition - the battery now has 3.2 v left in it! We have tried to jump start the car but it now wont start and you get a "chip not recognised" come up on the display. Does anyone know if this can be reset ?
cheers

I suspect that you will be better off communicating with a dealer.

We eventually got the car started after trying his 3rd spare key ! All the others now work ... guess the car managed to reset everything eventually. The battery doesnt appear to be keeping a charge ... so that is going to be replaced this week.
