Default After replacing the ignition switch, the car won’t start because the system locks it

Hi Everyone,
After replacing the ignition switch in a 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid, a small red padlock symbol appeared on the dashboard and the system is disabling the vehicle. The car won't start. Can someone help with this issue? Thanks
