Default security lock up after battery change

I just changed the battery in my 2004 and it seems to have lock up the security. The interior lights don't come on, the radio doesn't power up, it says "unknown driver when I turn on the ignition, and the engine dies as soon as it starts. Any suggestions?

Default RE: security lock up after battery change

Check all your fuses first of all. Sounds like one may have popped causing the lights and radio to be inop. As for the starting issue, turn the key to the on position(do not start). Watch the security light. Does it flash? If so leave the key on for about 10 minutes or untill the light stops flashing. When it does, turn the key off, then try to start it.
