Hi. I replaced the window regulator for the front passenger side. When I reassembled the door panel, I thought I reconnected the two door cables okay. Seems like I didn't as now the door will not unlock manually or with key fob and door will not open.

You will need to remove the seats and remove the door panel because it sounds like the latch control rods did not get reconnected correctly and now the door latch is in the lock position.

I removed the seat already. All the fasteners for the door panel are concealed all around. the b pillar, dash and floor rocker.

Yep, you will need to get behind the panel with a bent removal tool.

Here is a link to a set for about $6.00:

You might be able to call AAA or a tow company to try and slim jim the door open.
