I'm not an expert on this stuff but I think the "unrecognized codes" means the key was not properly programmed to your vehicle's computer. Call the locksmith back to finish the job correctly and your vehicle should then start and run okay. But no, he did not "screw the computer up". That's what people say to scare you.
