Car Alarms: disarming a K9 alarm, valet mode, dash area

Question
We have a 1995 Ford Escort with a K9 alarm.  Yesterday the battery died on the car and when we jumped the battery we still could not get the alarm to disarm.  After a couple minutes of listening to the alarm horn we cut the wire.  The alarm is still armed and will not let us start the car.  We really want to just get rid of this alarm, especially after this incident.  Any idea's on how to get the alarm disarmed so we can get the vehicle started instead of having it towed?

Answer
To try to disarm it,
look under the dash area for a button or,
a toggle switch. When you locate it, turn on the
ignition key, press and hold in the button (little
spring loaded micro button, red or black possibly)
until the alarm chirps 1 time. This should over ride
the system, and only the keyless entry part,
if installed, would still be operating.
The LED (light emiting diode) light in the dash
should also go on solid.=VALET/OVERIDE

This stops the alarm except for the keyless
entry if installed. Once in Valet mode,
it will allow the car to start and operate
like there was no alarm at all.

The next step is if wanting to remove it,
you contact a local technician to
locate it, and affect neccesary service
for you.

That should solve the troubles.

Let me know what you discover.
