Car Alarms: car alarm goes off, valet mode, dash area

Question
We have a 1997 Honda Accord and whenever you open the passenger side door first the car alarm goes off.  We don't have the remote to turn the alarm off as it was a used car that came without it.  Right now, the alarm stopped, but the 'security' knob is still blinking, and when we open the driver's side door the alarm goes off again, and the car won't start.

Answer
Ok, we know from
this description (good one!)
that it's an after market system.

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,
is to contact a local technician to
locate it, and affect neccesary service
for you.

That should solve the troubles.

Let me know what you discover.
