Default Locked out of discovery 2001 dead battery

Accidentally left the lights on and when I came back there was still a little bit of power but the door would not unlock. Whenever I would click the unlock button the light inside would turn on but only for a second. The key doesn't even fit into the hole so I couldn't get in that way. Called someone to try to unlock from the outside but he wasn't able to unlock the door using the wedge and rod. My dad wants to break a window but I hope that won't be necessary. I read somewhere that the passenger door has a secret lock or something like that but I'm not sure about that. Is there any way to get into the vehicle?

Edit: Nvm got inside

You will need to go underneath the truck, hook a battery charger up to the starter motor area (careful -- google it to see how) to get voltage to the vehicle.

Theoretically if nothing is screwed up, and it's just a dead battery, you should then be able to unlock.

BTW - do you not have a key to unlock the drivers door manually?

Hopefully OP was able to get into his truck 7 years ago.
