SOURCE: KENMORE MICROWAVE (HOUSEHOLD) LOCKED
It sounds like you press STOP two or three times to lock it. Maybe that (or another key) will unlock it.
The lock / unlock procedure will be covered in your owner's manual.
Or you can try a hard reset - unplug it from the wall for one minute, then plug it back in and try again.
If you don't have your manual, you can get one here. (Enter your model number without any spaces)

SOURCE: How do I turn off Kenmore Microwave Beeping?
I've got a Honda Civic hybrid with the same noisy beeper. I can't have the parking lights on and the door open. I can't leave the key in the switch while making a phone call etc. I think we have to presume that like the Honda, there is no software controlled override on you microwave beeper... they know best and want you to feel safe and secure that no burglar will be able to make a cup-o-soup in your kitchen without waking you. A few screws and you should be able to expose the main circuit board and apply a layer of bubble gum or silicone caulk or JB Weld to the beeping device. Most have a small hole in a black plastic cylinder... so cover the hole and then test for loudness. For absolute silence, desolder the device from the circuit board and replace with a resistor matching the amount you measure across the beeper contacts with an ohm meter.
