Urgent! Alarm Help!

Hello all, in a huge pickle here.
I needed to replace the ignition lock cylinder. Now my alarm goes off every time I connect the battery to the car and I can't get it to turn off without disconnecting power.
Is there some process to reset the alarm system?
Thank you!

Well I solved the issue just by fiddling around with it. Everything was a lot easier when I disconnected the horn relay and was able to think.

My issue now is... How do I delete this thread?!

If you know how you solved it, post the solution and leave the thread here in case someone else ever has the issue.

The lock on the drivers door has been somewhat broken for a while, the inside bracket that secures it in place had fallen off inside the door and I never did anything about it.
Took the door apart and re-secured the lock cylinder.
With the horn disabled, I connected the battery and put my key in the door and unlocked a few times and it all shut off finally.
Real big "OBVIOUS" now that I think about it, but with that damn horn blaring in my garage, I couldn't get a cogent thought processed.
