1999 Acura RL driver door won't open

Title. Tried to follow video for replacing door handle, door closed on me after removing the inner panel. Cannot open the door from the outside as the handle is completely broken, or from the inside as pulling on the cable has no effect on the door’s latch. Need the door open to finish my repair. Any feedback is welcome, particularly that which is constructive while reminding me of my own stupidity lol, thanks in advance
