The passenger door handle hides a secret. To the left of the handle, where an actual key hole would be, looks like it's just a piece of plastic. You can pop it off with a small flathead screwdriver. Be very careful because once it pops off, you could do what I did and scratch the paint. After the cover is off, you'll see the key hole. It'll work real easy because it's never been exposed to the elements. If this doesn't work, there's a real simple way to get in...break the small triangular window on the rear door and reach in to unlock the door. They are rather cheap and very simple to replace with the aid of YouTube. To prevent this, you can always disconnect ONE (1) of the wires to the locking mechanism, and make the doors manual locking. That's about all you can really do...
