Central locking/alarm problem

I stupidly tried to shut the convertible roof while the bag was still over the cover (in my defence I was distracted) not much damage, leather on the bag was torn at the left hand side retaining clip (could have kicked myself, self inflicted problem) .... however, the soft top closed and opened ok so I was not too worried, but the car now wont lock on the remote, the door handle on the passenger side opens and closes continually until the alarm sounds when I try to lock it. I can lock it with the key in the lock but not with the alarm activated. 

Is there a way to reset the central locking and alarm? I disconnected the battery for about three minutes but made no difference.
