Car Alarms: Alarm problems when trying to get a jump, valet mode, dash area

Question
I have a 98 Civic LX that has a manufacturer installed alarm. Recently my battery died and I had to give the car a jump but the alarm keeps coming on whenever I connect to the other car's battery. My alarm remote doesn't turn it off and neither does using the key in the door or the ignition. I haven't been able to start my car for a week now. I don't think the remote need a battery but could that be the problem? If I change the battery will I need to do anything to reset the remote? If the remote is not the problem then what is!!? Please help! I need really need my car :(

Answer
It's an after market system from your description.
Probably dealership installed when
it was purchased originaly.

To disarm it, locate and use the
valet/overide switch.

To start, 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. The next step is to
either remove the alarm or, try to identify,
and get new remotes for it.

But once in Valet mode, it will allow the car
to start and operate like there was no alarm at all.

Let me know how it goes.
