Pulled out old battery
let vehicle sit for 2 days
installed brand new yellow top optima.
Now doors are locked and I have no power throughout entire vehicle
Battery started my Tacoma so battery is good.
have only touched battery cables which are hooked up correctly and traced back with no loose
connections.
Maybe factory security system issue?

Those answers are in the owners manual...though the key lock may be problematic if it has not occasionally been used.

There are a couple of other possibilities as well.

Call me at 317 402 9013 if you like.

My 2000 GTS has the key access in the glove box at the top of the box. This will do the trick.

this happened to me once when the battery died in my key fob and after replacement the engine wouldn’t start. I finally slow walked around the car with the key fob pressed and held down and the car horn sounded about five times (never heard that before) and all was good!

No, that first appeared in 2003...and is very handy.

As you do know, you do have an alarm reset switch in your car.
