Auto Theft Prevention/1998 Ford Tarus used wrong key to start

Question
Used the wrong Ford key to start the Tarus, now it won't don a thing when trying to start it with the correct key.
Is there a procedure that I can do to have the car accept the correct key?  You know, dance around the car and chant or something like that?

Answer
Nope. screwed now. sorry.
Not kidding. Now have to have Ford do a cha cha on
your walet for a bit. The will need
to reset the PATS using they're code reader/writer.

Sorry could not throw any sunshine down on this for
you. Oh and 1 thing, don't do that again. Costly
and annoying. :>\
