You'll need to get the serial code off of the radio and go to a Honda dealership. I believe you'll also need to show proof of ownership.
the serial # is on top of the radio itself.

U need the code to activate the radio.
They usually give u when u bought the car, it has to be somewhere at the glove box

Some of them may not give a ****, but that wont last very long when Honda spanks them for giving out codes to stolen radios. Most of them need to verify you are the owner of the car. (And radio.)

A Honda radio like you have in there requires putting the code in once you lose power to the stereo. You have to get the serial and/or model # from the top of the stereo and call the dealership or go see then. I had to do that. If you put an aftermarket stereo in there a code doesn't matter.
