Put your key in driver's door lock, turn it ....
...in counterclockwise direction and hold it in this position. It might not open the door, but should open all of the windows, at least that's what mine does.

even though the sedan fob is w/o the hatch button I've done it several times
so started leaving my fob for my wife's car hung up on my bench instead of in my man purse, lol!

How cold is it where you are? Is your one good lock possibly frozen?
the fix for that is simple...wait for spring or park it inside for awhile.
If it were me and I needed to get in, I would break one of the rear door windows. They're the easiest to replace. You can pick up replacements from junkyards for cheap.

After you get back into your car, you'll still need to (re)program remote.
And you cannot program your remote without a working lock
cylinder on your door.
I would suggest you do a "Search" for Carson and order from him.
It should run you about $150 to $200 (guesstimate) for a new
lock cylinder. Putting in a lock cylinder should be uber easy
as is the reprogram procedure for remote. When you order
a new lock cylinder, they'll need info like your VIN so it works
with your keyfob.
Good luck,
