Need help with this

I bought the OEM keyless entry remote and I tried reprogramming it to my car yesterday. it disabled my starter and can't my car on. I was told to do it manually, which i did it. It worked yesterday then today i the same problem had happened. now i tried doing the same thing and it didn't work. I tried resetting my ECU and disconnecting my battery and that didn't work so im out of ideas now.

I think its a security thing thats happening. Its not my battery because my radio comes on when its in aux. pwr and its not my starter because its clicking when i try to turn it on.

confirm the location of the security module
unplug it for 5 mins then replug it
also reset your battery one more time
first see if your car starts
if yes then try reprograming the remote
goodluck

I looked at it and i was wondering where on the security box did you pull it. all i saw was a bunch of wires and i didn't want to fuck it up even more.
