Door wont unlock or open - Help!

[Justinhab]

Last week the passenger door on my 2004 X5 stopped working. The door wont unlock or open from inside or outside the car.

I've already tried this, it's not the issue: http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...-fix-pics.html

I also tired to unlock and lock the door about 100 times just to see if it might catch and unlock.

I was able to remove the door panel with the door closed (that was fun). I removed the air bag and the door liner. I can see that all the cables and parts are working fine. Im assuming the actuator is bad. Does anyone know how to unlock this manually so I can open the door and replace the actuator?

Thanks,
