What`s wrong with my car stereo?

[Turkish]

So I just came back from Europe after 2 months of vacation and I forgot to disconnect the poles on my battery... as you can imagine, the battery was 5 years old, and it died after 2 months... My stereo was working fine when I left here, but after I replaced the battery, my stereo doesn`t work. Everything else is fine except the stereo. Someone told me this is due to the fact that these aftermarket stereos are designed like that to prevent theft. I need a code to make it work again? If yes, how will I do it, call Kenwood since the stereo came with the car? It has a flip-over face plate so I can`t even see the stereo`s screen/buttons. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot.

It would be easier to figure out with a model number for the CD-Player.

If you manage to find the model number, google it and see what you come up with.

Well I did a search on it but couldnt find anything usefull... it`s a Kenwood CD Receiver, model number: KDC 7011... anybody have any other suggestions?

Go here.

Look through the interactive manual. You'll find a section on security codes.

I would unplug the wiring harness from the back of the sterio and plug it back in.

My brother had the same problem. It's all in the manual. Security codes pwned you.

however, on my kenwood when i need to enter the security code, the face still flips so i can see the codes im entering, look for a reset button somewhere, im not sure if there is one on the back of it.

Alright, I figured it out. Somehow I pushed a button, that force flips the faceplate. This is when you dont want the faceplate turn over even when the ignition is on. Well I found the reset button under the stereo, now it all works. Thanks for the help people.
