If the battery is still there but it's dead then try the following, get a new battery for the vehicle then buy 2 good sized wires, connect the negative side of that battery using one of the wires to any exposed metal on the body of the vehicle then VERY VERY VERY carefully reach down under the vehicle to the which is between the transmission and the engine on the top side which you should be able to reach from underneath the vehicle and locate a big thick wire covered by a gray cover, take that cover off and you will see that the big wire is connected to the starter with a nut, VERY VERY carefully connect the positive battery using the 2nd wire to that nut AND ONLY THE NUT, DO NOT let that wire touch ANY exposed metal part on the vehicle otherwise you will have alot more problems with the vehicle than just a locked door, when you have made this connection temporarily have a 2nd or 3rd person press the unlock button on the remote to unlock the doors then wallah you're all done, If you touch positive and negative on the vehicle you might destroy computers or fuse blocks which will be extremely costly to repair, Try this method at your own risk.
