Default Obdii scanner won't release please help

I plugged my scanner in to get the code and now it won't release from the plug? Is there a button I'm missing?

What kind of scanner do you have? The port has a small tab but it should released by pulling it out. Maybe your connector have a tab on the side that you need to press in?

Nevermind got it to finally come off. The actron has a small hole that locks into place and I had to use the tiniest flat head to pry it off
