You will have to open the hood and disconnect the battery terminals to reset the computer. Before hooking up the battery cables, the vehicle will need to be locked as it was before the alarm was tripped. Then the alarm could be disabled with the key to the car. You may have to program the key fob to the car. If you need further assistance with your alarm not shutting off, then seek out a professional, such as one from Your Mechanic, to help you.
