Gotta be a way. Is it an aftermarket system? Many will have a switch to disable the alarm. Also, find the alarm control box and trace the wires. Disconnect the power supply wire from it's source. Realize that depending on how it is configured, this could disable the car from starting to run. If it does, you'll have to disconnect the alarm system from where it interfers with the ignition.

Does turning on the ignition switch turn off the alarm? Is the horn sound continuously or is it honking on and off? Have you tried keying in the code for the door? Any and all other info you have would help.
