Well disconnect the battery untill you figure it out! Don't just let it keep going.

Wow! The alarm will go off if you open the hood? Nice! So where is the sensor? What does it look like?

Do a search, there are some threads with pics to show you where it's located, passenger side near the hood hinge, just unplug it, common problem.
