Narrative:

T38, IFR from iab to end. Military did not squawk the correct code and was advised to do so. Military did not change its code. I was handling other air traffic duties and unknowingly military entered into another control sector without proper coordination or approval. I was alerted to the problem when military requested frequency change and I took the necessary actions to solve the problem. No evasive action was needed. I was distraction from the situation developing by 3 other aircraft requesting their own unusual requests. After handling each request, is approximately when I became aware of the military aircraft in another controller's airspace. I believe the situation occurred because military did not squawk the correct code and allow the computer to assist and function in a normal manner.
