Can I disable the erase function on find my Mac after I've confirmed it?

So I lost my Mac and hit the erase button on find my Mac and then I found it. Is there a way to disable the erasing that is set to start when my Mac gets a wifi signal?

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

If a Mac was erased, you will need to enter the passcode that was set when the erase was sent in order to re-install OS X Mountain Lion or Lion from the Recovery partition. Once OS X Mountain Lion or Lion is installed, you can restore from a Time Machine backup if possible.
