1995 ford explorer alarm will not work after sitting in driveway for a long time without battery?

My '95 Ford exporer sat in the garage for about a year and a half and the battery ran down.
After replacing the old battery with a new one, it started fine and it ran great but the one thing I
noticed is that the alarm no longer works when I tried to press button on the alarm fob. I also replaced the battery on the alarm remote in case its battery also died. Alas it still did not work. I also tried to unlock the driver door using the code that I had written down and used to use but it too did not work.
I heard that there's a way to make this work again but I can't seem to find it in the internet. I tired the restting the keyless entry procedure from the internet but it did not work. I'm tempted to take it to the dealer but since I'm a single parent and have a teen ager who will be driving soon, I would prefer the alternate method first. The dealership is too expensive for me.

Suggestions on my daughter's first car?

She will need a car that is nice on the inside (preferably leather), something like a small SUV & hatchback. She likes the xterra and the ford explorer, and wants either white or silver(she prefers white).
Price limit: 11,000-16,000
Year: 2008-any year that will stay in price range. ALSO, a big thing is that she is quite tall for her age so she needs something that's medium sized.

I have seen cars with no front bumper covers that have their front plates displayed in the Windsheild is this LEGAL display of a plate? I not too long ago saw a Ford Explorer with no front bumper cover and they had the Front plated affixed to the Grille is that considered Improper display of a plate?

1992 Ford Explorer Transmission Problems?

My 1992 Ford Explorer (automatic) is having an issue, when you first start to press on the accelerator it revs up real high, and then it kicks and the gears catch and start moving, it'll start off moving a little bit, but really slowly, has anyone else had this problem before? Any advice? It's not slipping.
