Dead Battery issue

How do you open your door when a stupid person in your family leaves the lights on in your car and kills your battery? I have a 98 C280.. Thank You

well, if the baterry died, how would you have expected your car to even start without a battery? if ya battery died, well, thats the end of it, the car wont start, let alone crank.

I couldnt get into the car in the first place so that wasnt the issue. Quit laughing at me. I'm not that idiotic

But yah I didnt turn the key enough. I'm used to barely turning my wrist and the neumatic takes over-swoosh.
