Default Just changed the battery, now the radio says "CODE"

2002 Civic EX.

Battery went dead. Just put a new one in. Started right up, but the radio now says "CODE" on the display and the anti-theft light is blinking when the car is running.

Whats up with this?

Every factory radio has a code you need to put in when it loses power. An anti-theft thing.

Look around in your glovebox, my code was in my maintenance manual and there is a card with the code as well. It's a 5 digit code I do believe.
