help please !

my battery went dead and i was attempting the process of opening the front bonnet using a small 12v

i closed the door and now it will not open - i hear the physical lock opening and closing when i turn the key
but the door is stuck closed and i cannot open it !

any ideas ?

thanks

thanks but this is not my problem - it is the drivers door which will not open

this should still be possible with the key even with a dead or no battery
 
its probably this problem

but combined with the dead battery which means passenger door doesnt unlock (which allowed access in the case above)

so now i opened the engine cover using the emergency cable pull under the passenger side rear light (easier than trying to access the front bonnet one) and now charging the battery from there - everything went haywire for a while but settling down now - so we will see
