Deactivated Fobs

I managed to deactivate my key fobs trying to program my keypad, now all I get is the alarm going off anytime I try and do anything. I have tried cycling the key to reprogram my fobs but the alarm is going off the whole time and I can't do anything. How can I reprogram my fobs and stop the damn alarm from going off?
Thanks

Sounds odd, you need to get into programming mode and set all of your remotes at the same time.

There was an issue with years on the key pads, model/year might help the diagnosis.

cycle ignition switch on/off 8 times. on the 8th cycle leave it on. the door locks will cycle up/down. hit the unlock button on all the remotes you have(not at ones but within a few seconds of each other). turn ignition switch off. remotes are now programed

What alarm? Ford FOBS? Or A/M? Kind of depends on who's hardware we are working with, no?

It the Bosch system that Ford installs. Mine is a 2003 F250SD, I have found the valet switch so can now get the truck started and shut of the alarm which the neighbors appreciate. However I am unable to get into programming mode while in valet or bypass mode. I thought I read somewhere that you can hold down the valet button and cycle the ignition but this hasn't worked for me yet. Thanks,
