Door Stuck Closed

2015 Prius C one

I recently replaced the door actuator on my driver's side front door, and now I can't get the door open. The door panel lock moves like it's locking and unlocking but it does nothing. I tried manually opening it by moving the bar that connects to the actuator inside the door but that didn't work, and it seems to be working fine. When I pull the door handle it moves like it should, so i'm afraid that the actuator itself is broken inside.

Any ideas on how to get the door open? Or how to remove the actuator with the door closed?
Thanks.
