Auto Lock 850

850s never had an auto lock feature. The manual says to never lock the car while driving, because if an accident occurs the emergency responders will not be able to open the doors!
You do not have a remote, so unlock the car with the key, twice, in succession. That will disable the alarm system. You should not have to do it again.
There is a feature of the alarm system on my 1998, that if you unlock only the driver's door and then close the door, it will lock itself in 60 seconds.
As for getting a new remote, check Ebay, but make sure it is for a 1995. The manual also describs how to program it. Get an extra key from the dealer, he will use the VIN to cut a new key.
