Default Door stuck locked and closed

My drivers rear door is stuck closed and locked and not sure how to get access to the inside of the door if possible at all. The white cable/wire that connects to the lock itself has been either been dislodged or installed in the lock position so I’m unable to unlock the door in anyway. I’ve already tried taking the door card off but the bottom 3 screws are unreachable. Any help or advice would be appreciated especially about how to get to those bottom screws, really don’t want to go to a locksmith. Thanks in advance

Don’t remember the exact layout but most cars have some sort of insert near the door handle that can be replaced. Something like fake wood or carbon fiber. I would cut or break that area for access to the cables
