Theft System active - Car not.... HELP

[fryman26]

Just installed an aftermarket alarm in my 98 Cavalier, unplugged cluster and both ignition harnesses from the column (basically gutted the dash). Now passlock has gone active - not bypassing w/ key. Any ideas on codes or procedures to help clear the theft system.

Put everything back together, make sure battery is fine, then turn ignition on for 20 minutes
