Default Security code?

We just changed the battery in my dad's 2001 ZO6 and now the starter will not engage, the steering colum is locked and the radio and windows do not work either. We waited an hour and it is still the same. We think it is the anti theft device and the manual says that you need a security code. My dad is not the original owner and does not have the code. Does anybody know what it is or how to reset it. All of the service departments are closed until Monday and we need get it running this weekend.
Thanks in advance.

There is a security code for the radio but not for the car as I understand things. Do the lights and seats work. If not, maybe you have a bad connection at the battery.

Yes the lights and seats work. When you turn the key on the gauges cycle normally and the fuel gauge drops to zero and on the display it says low fuel service engine soon, but there is over half a tank of fuel.
