Look for the thread "Trunk Lid Jammed", which I started in 2009 when I got locked out of my trunk, I was as lost as you. Disable that lock as soon as you get a chance.

One way to PERHAPS make the PTCM unlock the trunk (never worked for me but it does for some) is to start the engine and press and hood the top button in either the RAISE or LOWER position (if top is up, press RAISE, if top is down press LOWER) for about 10, 20 seconds, I cannot remember how long. If you listen CLOSELY you might be able to hear the cam move. If that does not do it, you must remove the passenger side tag light assembly (it pops out, DO NOT remove the lens screws) and press on the cam with a screwdriver and pop the trunk.
