Default "special" lockout situation

I was replacing my front passenger power window guides. I was mostly done and wanted to make sure everything fit. I pulled the door shut only to realize that I had forgotten to hookup the latch cable inside the door. Now neither the inside nor outside handle works. The inside door panel is installed, so I can't get to anything. I did leave the locking **** out, too. So I could fish down that hole if that would do anything.

Coat hanger between the glass and seal?
Open back door and try to disengage latch at the jam?

Help!

Press the unlock button on your remote and go in through the back seat... Or the trunk?

I'm not locked out-- I just can't open that one door.
