The child lock on your master switch is not working. You can try to remove it and take it apart and clean it with electrical cleaner, replace the master with a new one or bypass it. Search for a how-to on this site for the bypass.

What is happening is that all the wires from the other windows go through the lock button. When that button goes bad, no power gets to those other switches.

That switch kills power to all window controls except those on the driver's door panel, and it's a common failure. Replace or bypass it.

See this thread where I just recommended the fix, and two people replied saying they did it and it worked:
