sound to me you need new battery. when they get old or go faulty they make your alarm do strange things. it'll definatly need new one if you've down powered it.

Turning off the mains supply is only half the battle. Most alarms are equipped with a battery backup to offer continued protection during power cuts, and to retain the memory.
You will need to turn off the mains AND disconnect the battery for a while. Be warned, once the power is reapplied you may discover the alarm has forgotten everything - including your code(s).

If the above does not work then your alarm is probably equipped with non volatile memory and will need to be professionally repaired.
