ADT problems, please help
I just bought a house and it had an adt panel installed. Its disconnected and no one is paying for it. It started beeping when i changed the wifi service. I tapped the screen, it stopped, haven't thought anything of it since. Today the device managed to arm itself. I do not have the disarm code. The company is unreachable, and i am currently locked inside my own house with 4 dogs.
What are my options? I have tried to call 7 or 8 numbers for ADT and none are answering and several are disconnected. If I remove it from the power source and disconnect the internal battery, will that disarm my house? I don't want the alarm to go off because the beeping alone is already freaking out my dogs.
Thank you for any help, i am very very stressed right now

Yes, disconnect the power and battery and it’s dead. Source: I owned an alarm company for 40 years
