Unhappy Dead battery? Won't start. Help

I have a 2002 Boxster I use as a daily driver. I recently had surgery and was grounded from driving (anything) by my doctor. Well, I'm ok to drive again, but the car won't start or turn over.

The Boxster was idle over two weeks, I've read about immobilizer issues. My added problem is the electronics in the key have been lost for months. I've just been getting in abs starting the car within 10 seconds (and gotten quite good at it).

At first, thinking this was a dead battery, I pulled off the fuse box cover and attempted the steps to open the hood. When jumper wires are attached, and the key turned, the alarm sounds and I still can't open the hood.

So it's the key - right? Or not.

I need to start the car to move it. Can anyone help?
