Default Door not opening.Yes I searched...

So my passenger door will NOT open.. It does not work from the inside nor the outside. I have taken off the inner door molding and exposed the door actuator. The little tab that the cable pulls on to release the door moves but will NOT open. I have searched, and every thread/post has been about the clips/cables etc. i just want to get my door open so I can swap out the actuator. The tab on the top moves all the way back as if it is ready to open yet it will not. Is the door stuck in the lock position? If so, how on earth do I "unlock" it? The key from outside the door wont realease it nor will the door locks on the inside. Any help would be awesome!

Well basically there is nothing on the actuator inside the door. all cables are broken/removed.. The lever on the lock actuator itself moves back and forth as if it were opening the door, yet the door does not open. I got it opened twice before about 2 months ago, but stopped working when the door locked. As if it seized up or something. I can move the lever moves left and right and I can see it hitting the arm that opens the door, but it will not release.

Can you pull the lever by hand, the little bar?
