Unidentified Driver?

I have an '06 TSX and recently noticed that my car only unlocks the driver's door instead of all the doors when I click the unlock button once. I know it's the default setting, so I assumed that the recent work done on it reset the ECU. I tried to change it again and it won't let me customize any options because I'm an unidentified driver. The memory seats also don't return to the set position when using the remotes. Normally I'd take it to Acura, but since I got it used from a private party, there's no warrenty left (55,000 miles) Does anyone know how to get the ECU to see that I'm still me and using the same keys?
Thanks in advance

It sounds like the remote is already programmed to the car (as it unlocks the doors), it just needs to be set for which "driver" the car should recognize it as. I had this same problem when I got a replacement Driver 2 key and remote from the dealer - the remote would unlock the doors, but it did not adjust the seat or customize the settings for Driver 2. In addition, my Driver 1 key/remote would get the "Welcome Driver 1" display on the mid, but the replacement driver 2 key set would not. I don't remember the exact process I did to program the remote, but I think it went something like this:

1) Insert Driver 1 key into the ignition and turn to position 1 (accessories on)
2) Set your seat position and store into Memo 1 using the door panel (if not already stored) - you can set the other custom settings later once the remote transmitters are correctly linked to the proper driver number
3) Make sure the light on the Memo 1 button is on - if not, press the Memo 1 button
4) While the key is still in the ignition and in position 1, press both the lock and unlock buttons on the remote to link the remote to the driver number (see the sticker on the back of the remote transmitter)
5) Turn key to off position
6) Remove key from ignition
7) Open driver door
8) Repeat process for Driver 2 remote/Memo 2 setting

It may take a couple of tries to get it right because if the remote is already set and you hit the lock/unlock buttons, you may actually unlink the remote from the car.

Hopefully this helps.

Yup that worked. It somehow forgot about both remotes but knows them again. Thanks.
