It is a problem that has happened a few times. Take a look at these posts and you should not have a hard time getting it opened up.

Thank you Vern Robinson for the information, btw i had to take the car to a denter since i couldn't do it with the screw driver, although there was a hole there but the denter had to poke another one and also while were trying to unlock the passenger side lock, the driver side also got stuck, but it wasn't as bad, it got unlocked by pulling the wire from the lever under the steering.

Glad to hear you got it open. Lube it good and change those cables and you will be good for years to come.
