[s-cars] Alarm has killed the ignition - can't start/move the wrecked Avant - bypass ideas?

I knocked the sheet metal enough out of the way of the rear wheel so I
could install the mostly deflated donut spare; doing so allows the wheel
to turn so I can move my rear ended 95.5 S6 Avant indoors to begin
parting out. However, the alarm has now demonstrated its abilities and
disabled the ignition - turning the key in the drivers door lock does
not disable it either.... Seems like its doing exactly what its
supposed to do, but I need to disable the alarm lockout of the ignition
- any ideas how to do so? Tried removing battery cable and alarm fuse
A3 in the engine compartment's fuse/relay box - no change in status. I
was able to start the car yesterday morning, but was screwin' around
seeing what still worked and did the wrong thing and tried to lock
doors. Only the drivers door locked (vacuum leak was evident from the
sounds and fact that the rear hatch was pretty well crushed. But, of
course the alarm sure does work....)
Thanks,

Pair o' 95.5 S6 Avants, one perty, one not so much...
