Default door wont open please help

I have a 90 honda accord with a stuck door . tried almost everything i could to open it . played with the door handles ,lock ,took the door panel off with the door closed ( not an easy task ) everything look like it's in order. i'm guessing it's a stuck actuator . not a problem right ? my problem is i have to open the door . anybody know how i can open my door ?? please help

Was the door in the 'locked' position before it got stuck(not implying that door is simply locked, but perhaps the lock lever is stuck or broke)..? Can you move the lock button/lever ? What door is it? Child safety lock

You can't open the door from the outside as well? If you can open the door from the outside, it sounds like the inside door handle rod is damaged or the inside door hande. The inside door hande is cheap, hopefully this is the problem.
