Answer 1

First you should try picking the lock.

You could try picking the key hole if there is one.

There are many guides about lock picking online for example: http://www.howstuffworks.com/lock-pickin...

Check for alternative ways to enter the room.

If you aren't successful at the picking the lock but a window  is connected to the room then you could try climbing through the window. If the room is in second story, use a ladder. If the window is locked or there are no windows then you should try next step.

If there are no windows and lock picking fails/not possible then you your last resort would be to dismantle the door/k**b or both. There are ways to take apart a door k**b from the outside, there are some guides you can find through search engines. If trashing the door k**b still doesn't get the door open, you can use a power saw to cut a circle around the door handle and it will swing open freely once you cut around it.

If the door is a steel or metal door then you'll need to do some serious damage to open the door.

Answer 2

Since you posted your question 5 hours ago I hope your in by now, but if not the best though not the cheapest way is to call a locksmith. Don't do what my tenant did and kick it in.

Answer 3

First of all can you take the hinges off?

If not, call a locksmith.  They have keys for everything.

Answer 4

Disassemble the doorknob. See the linked article for instructions on how to do so.
