Default Car handle broken off, battery died - any way to get inside or pop the bonnet?

Hi, for the past couple months i've had a broken door handle on the drivers side. So i usually open the door from the inside by going through the passenger door, but since the battery is dead, when i unlock the car it only unlocks the drivers side and not all the doors at once (automatically), if that makes sense.

Am i screwed? How do i get inside or pop the bonnet to charge the battery..

Thanks in advance

Jack it up, remove the engine undertray, you can hook jumper leads to the starter motor to power up the battery enough to unlock th car.

Or find someone to break into your car.
