You need a new battery-
It takes a great deal more power to crank a motor than it does to light up the lights. This is why your lights still come on even though the battery does not have enough power crank the engine over. If you install a new battery keep an eye on it...if it dies quickly then you have a bad alternator.

to reset security you'll ned to do the 10min key with ign. on for 3times after each 10 min turn key off briefly then back on without trying to restart after 30min or three 10min ign on cycles turn off key briefly then the car should start

Here is a link that will help you understand the problem. There are also some ways to beat this yourself.

sound like pass key security system has failed
dealers the best bet

dealer only encrypted software

usually, this is an ignition switch problem.

may need to change ignition cylinder

check your inteior light switch. for a tempory fix remove the bulb

Had the same issue in the spring. Replace the turn signal switch. A general weakness in the switch in these years. Replacement solved the problem in my 97 Lumina.
