I have a slight problem...PLEASE HELP!

I got home last night, and decided for no particular reason to disconnect my battery for ecu restart reasons, and there wouldn't have been a problem with this as I've done it many times before, but like an idiot that I often like to portray, I closed the hood! There is no easy method to accessing the battery terminals that i can think of, and jacking the car might be a problem as it is sitting on my driveway which is sloped downward toward the front of the car. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. (I really don't want to break a window if possible)

You closed the hood with the battery disconnected and now you cannot get into the car? I'm not sure I understand.

:S what? just unlock your door and open the hood - i don't get what you mean either, why would you need to break your window when you can just unlock your car, if the remote unlock doesn't work, do it manually as there is a key in the remote unlock, turn the remote around and there is a way to get the key out - use that to open your door.

Wow, my idiot cycle is complete...I thought for some reason that the locking mechanism for the door was electronic and wouldn't work without the battery connection. Thank you for the help, problem solved.
