Default New battery installed, alarm goes off, annoying

Vehicle: 2004 Ford Ranger V-6. So the stock battery retired after four and a half years while driving so I just purchased a new one. Wala, I thought that was it.
Now for the next problem.

I bolted in the new battery, connected the black neg cable alright and went to connect the red pos connector and the alarm goes off. Also, one thing I noticed, is I have no circuit key either. This circuit terminal is located under the steering wheel next to the hood latch. I checked the fuse box on the passenger side but got confused with so many fuses. Also there's a blue switch next to the hood latch too. Not sure what that does at all.

Is there any suggestions on how to solve this problem and what to do next?
