Default Door doesn't open

Hi, my passenger door doesn't open. Not from the inside not from the outside. The actuator seems to be working. Any ideas on how to open the door?

Try using the mechanical key lock mech from the outside. If you say the actuator is still working, then there could be a misaligned arm or broken component inside the door that needs replacing/adjusting.

Seems like I'm seeing this issue more and more here lately.

The handle doesn't pull anything it's loose. The one from the inside pulls, but nothing happens

Sounds like to me the cable for the door is not connected to the handle. No idea how you would open the door though...

When such a thing happened to my friend's 6th gen Honda on his driver's front door, we ended up removing the lower B-pillar plastics and just went to town on the locking mech and latch. Don't know what else to tell you if none of the handles work.
