Get someone to repeatedly press the unlock button on the drivers door while you bash your hand against the handle of the locked door. Hopefully it will unlock after enough tries.

There is a round disc you need to punch/drill out to get the window out, to get to the door lock. Put something between that and your door skin to avoid damaging the door

I've done this job recently. If you have the card off the door I found pressing the unlock button whilst pulling on the unlock cable that feeds to the grabhandle worked.

If that doesn't work, try as above. Press unlock and bang the pannel to just the left of the handle.
