Default Alarm & key fob issue with 1997 A4

Without using the key fob, does anyone know how to open the car and turn on the ignition without setting off the alarm. My key fob is in pretty bad shape and after replacing the batteries yesterday, it no longer works.

I've checked several forums on how to re-program the fob, but nothing I can find tells me how to get into the vehicle without first setting off the alarm. And once the alarm goes off, I can't turn the key in the ignition.

Okay... mystery resolved. Seems that if you use the regular key in the door lock and turn it clockwise twice and then unlock the door, it disengages the alarm.
