Dead Battery/Hopod Release - Help

[Robbo]

I have a 97 Boxster that I store for the winter ( I live in Canada). When I went to take it out of storage the battery was stone dead and the hood release was locked electronically. With the battery dead I can't get the hood to unlock and the battery is of course under the hood.

Any ideas/thoughts on how to get the hood release to unlock or get the hood open or get to the battery?

Any help woutld be greatly appreciated.

Thank You
