Computer problem V8 Four Wheel Drive Automatic 125000 miles

I want to disable the passive anti-theft security systrem. I do not have automatic door locks and it affects only my engine. How can I start my F-150 with a standard ignition key (No Chip)?

there is no way to disable the PATS and be able to drive the truck. PATS is used to prevent starting vehicle, not used to prevent getting inside of vehicle.
