Its an alarm system that was activated
check under the driver side for an after market valet switch
turn key on cycle the switch
and that should deactivate the system
or you can try and do this
Make sure have a window open
disconnect negative terminal of battery
place key in ignition and turn on
close door
reconnect battery
see if that work
try locating the switch would be best
good luck
