Your ignition key should unlock it. If not you need to have a key made for it by a dealer based on the vin. A locksmith could also unlock it but it may lock itself again in the future.

there is a special tool locksmiths use to feel the factory grooves on the tumbler plate to pick it. I used a street sweeper brush bristle and it took about 15 minutes
