What causes your 1991 infinity Q45 security light flash and car will not start?
The only method of disarming the security system is thru the door locks, if it does not disarm; this will entail a fault in the security system. First, the vehicle battery will have to be tested, a low, or shorted battery can trigger the security as well. If the battery is good, the sytem will need electrical diagnosis, which I recommend be done at the dealer, since they are more familiar with this vehicle's security system, than most independent facilities are.

The alternator may be putting out charging current, but the battery may be old enough that it is shorted out internally and is not accepting the charge. It's a simple enough thing to check out - take vehicle to a shop (or auto parts dealer) who can put a meter on it and check it.
