Battery replacement and problems

First, please excuse my ignorance here. I have searched and not had much luck, and am new to dealing with Porsches. This is actually my sister's car and she bought it used. She has no owners manual. It is a 2001 Boxster S

We had to replace her battery, mainly due to age. After doing so, there are a few indicators staying on, and I am wondering how to reset them. I followed the instructions for resetting the windows.

I have the following issues:

1. The indicator on the dash for the convertible top stays on as if the top is not secured. I have raised and lowered the top, and made sure the latch above the mirror is locked. Still can't get the light to go off.

2. The radio wants a code input. Since she has no owners manual or info, we don't know the code. Is there a way to retrieve it?

3. The air bag light is staying on.

Car runs great and no other issues.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you have the key in the ignition when you changed the battery? I'm afraid when you do this, those lights will end up staying on. Unless I'm mistaken, you'll now need to take the car to the dealer for them to reset the lights. The dealer will also be able to find the radio code with your VIN#. Good luck
