Default Trunk Wont Open

FOB nor the inside release button will open it. What am I missing? I last opended it yesterday and since then, no bumps, mishaps or damages....just wont open.

Have appointment on Monday but was hoping to do it on my own (with your help)...Lexus is about 50 miles from me, don't want to make the trip unless I heve to.

If i remember correctly there is a lockout button in the glove box
You can always call the 800 number for advise if you can't get to a dealer

FYI. The trunk can also be opened with the key on your fob. There is a keyhole above the license plate and to the left.
