Default Car alarm goes off when reconnecting the battery HELP!!

So I did something really stupid while disconnecting the battery. I believe I left it locked so now, whenever I'm reconnecting the battery, the anti theft alarm goes off.. I tried to connect it and run to the driver side to start the car but it wouldn't start. Also tried spamming the unlock on the key fob, no luck. I disconnected the battery when I was trying to switch out the steering wheel so I need some help urgently! I have a ride to work tomorrow but I don't want this to be a hassle LOL. I'm also thinking about popping the door handle off so I can use the mechanical key. I think that might turn off the alarm?

its suppose to go off, just finish putting the connector on and use your key fob to turn off alarm.

Make sure the fob has a good battery in it too.
