97 Boxster - Hood/Trunk levers locked ?

[Marty97]

Hello folks,

I left the security system on over the winter and the battery is dead. I'm unable to get the hood open to get to the battery because the levers under the door seem to be locked down by the security/locking system.

Hoping someone here can assist - dealer closed till Monday and I'd like to get it on the road tomorrow.

Any assistance on how to open the hood to charge the battery would be much appreciated.

Best,
Marty
