When you started pressing keys randomly I suggest that you entered the
"quick arm" shortcut.  The only way to turn the system off is via one of
the user codes.  You won't be able to enter programming until the system
is disarmed.  Unless some kind soul can provide you with the previous
owners user code, you're hooped.  Now...  If some kind soul had
programmed a keyfob for arm/disarm, you only have to find that.  Good
luck!!!
