Replacing Car Battery for 1996 Honda Civic?

My car (1996 Honda Civic LX 4-Door Sedan) had stopped running recently, so I took the old battery out and got a new one. When I plug the second plug into the battery, its alarm goes off, and it won't stop unless I unplug it, which is what I'm forced to do. Can somebody help? How do I put the new battery in without triggering the alarm?

Remove the alarm. Nobody wants to steal it any more. When an alarm keeps you from driving it what good is it?

With the bonnet open, Close and lock the doors, Check for a bonnet open sensor. If you find one tape or keep it in the closed position. Then fit the battery. If the alarm goes Off try unlocking then locking with the key or remote

There should be wiring that connects the alarm to the rest of the car. Disconnect it.

Just let the alarm go off and use the remote or key in the drivers door or ignition switch to kill the alarm! Quit panicking! We've all heard car alarms before.
