Default key fob not working

Bought a scooby yesterday and the key fob was working all normal, then i went to lock it at work and nothing happened so now the car is still stuck at my workplace (tesco) as you cant turn it over due to needing the fob.
Can someone please help??

It could just need the key re setting to the car. Instructions and codes in the alarm handbook. Had this happen to me recently and it fixed the problem.
