Default 940 immobiliser

My wife took our 940 estate to the garage for a new battery. Now it is stranded there as the immobiliser has kicked in and won't allow the car to start. I don't recall having anything other than two keys when we bought the car - is one of those keys a master that will enable the immobiliser to be reset or what? Any ideas anyone?

Try using the key in the driver door to lock, then unlock the car. that should disable any factory alarm/immobilizer. Now, if there's some kind of after market immobilizer, all bets are off.
