Ceil M has the right idea. Here's what you do: go look at another door in your house real quick to see how the little springy thing works (the striker that goes in and out when the door handle is turned and keeps the door closed). when a door is closed it rests against thin wood trim on the door jam or door frame. This trim called door stop needs to be pulled away from the door jam with a flat putty knife enough so that a credit card can be slid behind it so it pushes that little springy thing back into the door and the door will pop open. You'll love this trick once you figure it out! Good Luck!
TRY SLIDEING A KNIFE UNDER THAT LITTLE WOODEN STRIP IN FRONT OF THE DOOR ON THE FACING WERE THE DOOR BUT'S UP AGANIST AND THEN SLIDE INTO WERE THE TUMBLER GOES INTO FRAME
if it has a small hole in the middle of the knob you should be able to stick a coat hanger or something similar into it to unlock, if it does'nt it is probably broken, you might try prying the edge strip loose that covers the latch and using a sharp knife to move the latch to open the door
use credit card slid in door jam and face plate
Some door locks have a small regular type screw ( flat head)inside that little hole, you'll needed a small screw driver ( like the ones for eye glasses) to turn it to unlock it, Check the top of the trim over the door most people put the key type thing up there, Good luck.
