had the exact same problem try hitting the unlock on the remote key thing... then put the key in and turn it to on but dont start it. crank on the wheel really hard to one side while applieing the brake and start it. it works. it has to do with the alarm system

Battery is dead and car won't shift to neutral when i apply the brake?
Presuming you've got and automatic gearbox: To be able to engage neutral there needs to be power from the battery. So either jump start the car or charge the battery, but you need to find out why the battery died in the first place. If you left lights on something like that then charge the battery by taking it for a long drive. If the battery goes flat again after that then there may be a problem with your alternator or the battery won't hold a charge, get the battery tested and go from there
