Need some help

Have an 07 civic that we let sit for a year and the battery was completely dead. I replaced the battery, so we can sell the car and now the shift lock is engaged. I know how to temporarily take it off, but not sure how to permanently fix it so that when it starts, you can shift right away.

Any thoughts?

When you start the car and press the brake, like you were to put it in gear, do you hear a click?
If you don't hear a click, the electric solenoid to release the transmission isn't unlocking.
That's my guess.
