Someone tried stealing my car and broke something off in the switch, that resulted in me busting the switch out of it to get it to crank. Now it will crank with a screwdriver of course, but it cuts right back off. The shifter will not move out of park either. The fuel pump is coming on though.

You cannot start those with a screwdriver it needs to see the ignition cylinder turn in the ignition housing. We need to start by replacing the ignition cylinder then worry about security reset etc. unless the ignition housing is broken as well.
