Breaking into my own car???? Stupid alarm

Man....just trying to get some work done on the car today and rolled over on my car alarm clicker. Now its armed but I cant dis-arm it with my clicker. This has been a problem with my viper alarm for about 4 months now. I have tried battery replacement. Doesnt work. Sometimes I can disarm it with the clicker. But I cant now.

Anyway...cant get into my car or work on it without the alarm going off. Is there a way to cut the power on the viper alarm?

there should be a toggle switch or something under the steering wheel or somwhere accessible. Every alarm I have seen has an override switch that switches to valet or off. Once you have the switch, try starting the car and fiddling with the switch. You might have to do this a few times so don't overheat the starter.
