Unfortunately at this point you need to be towed to your local Ford Dealer for repairs. You can't reset or bypass or reprogram the security system yourself. Also, without two working keys on a Ford Product you can't program additional keys to the vehicle yourself either. Sorry! Jim

Js is right, you would have been better off having a just a new key made and programmed than replacing the ignition lock cylinder.
