Re:2005 Mazda 3 - changing ignition lock Sign In

So I just finished replacing my Ignition lock in my 2005 Mazda 3.
The car doesn't start after replacement.
I turned ignition on, let security icon clear, turned it off, and repeated 4-5 times.
I now have the battery disconnected and will leave it off until the am.
Is this the necessary step that is needed in order to start?
Thanks for your reply in advance.

Separated your thread as you tagged this onto a Pontiac thread and the two cars don't' share much. Please make your own with your own specific vehicle,

I don't know where you got the idea you could do that but you can't. This requires a factory scan tool to program the new keys.
