Locked? Did you try unlocking it with the key?

Default Mine's been doing that on and off for a while...
Eventually you'll need a new locking mechanism, I haven't had to do it with the C5 yet, but it shouldn't be too hard to DIY. Try locking and unlocking a couple times and it may work again. Otherwise, stick the key in the door and hold it open so the windows roll down, then use the inside handle, you'll probably have to pull on it twice (like the door is still locked)

It did it before but just until I drove someplace then I could open it up from inside. Nothing now.
