How to get trunk open when main battery is dead, and there's no valet key?

What is your question?

Main battery died overnight, and vehicle was purchased used, without a valet key. Neither the engine key, nor the driver's switch will open the trunk, in order to access the main battery. How can I gain access to the trunk? Must I purchase a valet key? Will the valet key be based on the VIN?
