if my door wouldnt open then i personally would kick the crap out of the door till it opens......, or pull the door panel off, and try wiggling/moving around lock and door hinge metal things (metal rods that operate door locks and such, cant remember what theyre called right now for some reason) never had to open a door without the handle, so i could be telling you to go about it in a more difficult way, but thats where i would start

Maybe if you start to disassembling the door handle on the inside and see if it's a broken rod. Wish I could be of more help. But that's where I'd start.
