How do I recode my Ford Focus' ignition key?

I have a 2002 Ford Focus 1.6i. I lost the original coded key, and have another ignition with one code key and another normal key, but the car doesn't start. Do I need to reprogram the key? How do I do this?

You're going to have to visit a Ford dealer and shell out quite a lot of money.
