how to get into the car when the battery is dead.

What is your question?

The car has been parked for a while and the battery has gone dead. Due to a problem with the door handle the key will not unlock it either. Is there anyway to get the hood up in order to get the battery charged without being able to open the car door, or is the another way to get the car door open? What seems to make the problem better or worse? nothing at this time
