Need Help - No Start Caused by bad Urea Level Sensor

I was on a very long drive when this all went sideways for me. Thankfully, Im currently stuck at my hotel at my destination. But I cant leave :-(.

So my cars level sensor is reporting low always, and on a long trip, and in the middle of it, it started the No Start count down even tho I had filled up the Urea Active Tank. This started happening Saturday late afternoon in the middle of nowhere.

At 500km left, I got some urea at a gas station and I filled up some of the passive tank and topped up the Active tank.

I tried resetting the Urea fill detection, but it wouldnt let me because the active tank was registering as low.

So it counted down to 0 and then flashed No Start ----km. I drove filling up my car with the car running, and got to my hotel late at night. Is there any way to reset the No Start so I can drive it 1600km again until I get home and fix the tank? I have my laptop and Rheingold and ISTA/P... but i have never used ISTA before.

My only other option is to send out my computer to have it tuned, removing all this crap so it works.

Please let me know.
