Default Alarm siren sounding after dead battery

When my prelude sat for a couple weeks while I was getting parts to fix it, the battery drained while the alarm was armed. When we went to jump start the car, the alarm siren went off, and wouldn't respond to the remote. So i just pulled the plug on the brain unit. And now I'm trying to get it working again, but as soon as I plug it in, the siren goes off and I can't shut it off. I checked the remote battery and it's good. I tried going through the programming sequence, but it doesn't seem to work when the siren is sounding.

In the manual, it lists a feature, Alarm State Memory: If a thief removes power while the alarm is armed, and reconnects it, the alarm will instantly sound, the parking lights will flash and the starter will be disabled. I'm guessing the alarm thinks this is it's current state, but I can't shut it off.

Anyone know anything about this? The alarm is an Avital Diablo 2.

I miss using the remote to unlock my doors
