Did you try to unlock the the Passenger door with the key. If that works,
 Plug your lock module back in then . Lower both windows and close the 
passenger door. Then from outside the car , reach in through the windows
 and actuate the lock button on the passenger door. 
the solenoid trip the driver door locks to open Or you should be able to 
use your key in the passenger door to do the same thing.   Hope fully this
 will resynchronize the lock mechanisms in the driver door. If this doesn't
 work you may need to dig in to the door. So hopefully you can get in via 
the passenger door. 

Let us know what happens.
