Car Alarms: I cant get in my ford F150 b/c i lost my keyless remote. I NEED HELP!!, keyless entry remotes, dash area

Question
I have a 2000 for f-150 Lariat. One of my keyless entry remotes
was washed in the washing machine and the other i lost some
time today. I have 2 sets of keys just no keyless entry. BUT i
can't get into my car without the security alarm going off
without the keyless remote, when i open the door with the key
itself the alarm goes off and i can't start my car. With my
remotes i used to have to press the unlock button before it
started, i called the guys at the ford dealership and they said i
had an aftermarket alarm system. It could be possible b.c i
bought the car used and they said there was little they could do
without having my car there. I am a poor college student and
can't afford towing, or hiring some car tech to come help me.
How can i just get my car to start!?!?!?!?! can i disable the alarm
without starting my car? what should i do?!?!? i need my car...

any help would be greatly appreciated

Answer
The alarm seems to be doing it's job.
At least we know it's installed correctly
which is actually a good thing here.

Ok, try this.
Put the key in the ignition, and turn forward
all the way just before cranking. Then within
5 seconds, locate, press and hold in the
valet/overide button, found under the
dash area, (push button, spring loaded)
until the installed LED (the blinking light)
in your dash area goes on solid,
and the siren chirps once.

(Your valet switch might be the toggle
(on/off) type. in this case, key on,
flip switch in opposite direction,
then turn the key off.)

This should reset the alarm, and reset
the grounded relay on the starter wire,
allowing you to start the engine.

At this point, the only thing working would
be the keyless entry from the alarm,
if it came equipped that way.

Just Repeat these steps to place it
back to usable armed mode.
You may get 2 chirps, confirming it,
and the lights may flash twice as well.

That should do it.
If you want to remove it at this point,
take it to your neighborhood installer
for this, or buy the wiring chart
(Go to: www.vehiclewires.com)
for the vehicle, and reverse engineer it wire
by wire, until safely removed.

If it does not work out this way,
you will have to replace the system
with one you know how to operate
and what to expect. Don't want to
get stuck in another bad situation.

Let me know what happens.
