Default Passenger Door wont open, how to?

Out of the blue my passenger front door won't open. It unlocks and locks properly but the inside and outside handles will not release the door.

How can I get it open ?

I tried removing the panel but without breaking it in half I don't think it's going to do much good :/

what about outer door handle or inner door handle removal? anything to get a lttle bit of access inside door, usually steel rods attached to door handle that pull the latch to open you have to get a hold of the rod that came off of handle and pull it with pair of plyers or something to release latch, haven't looked at my door panels to see how they come apart but sometimes arm rest or inner door latch has screws or push clips holding them on and removal will give you enough access to see rods in door

That was my thinking. I did unbolt the interior handle and try to pull it but I didnt have much time before I left. I'm going to give it a look again soon
