Disconnect the battery, put the key in the ignition and turn it to the RUN position, then reconnect the battery.

Ok, well that is how you disable the alarm. The not starting and alarm going off again says to me that either the battery voltage is low or there is another issue going on. Try jump starting it and doing that again, if that doesn't work, I'd recommend getting it to a shop because there is likely something else going on.

He did that and it wouldn't let the car start and now the alarm going off againIt just ran before we got the new battery

I understand, it sounds like there is an issue with the anti theft. If the battery is good it should start. The alarm disabling procedure wouldn't cause the car to not start
When you try to start it does it just click?

Ok, are you sure the battery connections are tight and that no fuses were blown when replacing the battery
Still not sure what you need?
Have a certified mobile mechanic diagnose what's wrong with your car, at your home or office.
