2004 Honda Accord car is completely dead

Did you try a new battery?

UM, .. NO ...not yet. The battery is less than a year old. The point of the question was that I couldn't even put the car into Neutral to back it out of the garage enough to even be able to Open the hood and/or even try to jump the battery. Perhaps I should have asked, ' hey, what would make the car not even shift into neutral?" I know the trick to jostle the steering wheel enough to unlock the wheel - but the wheel Isn't locked. I can turn it ... but there is NO putting the gear (automatic transmission) into neutral. So I am quite baffled. I've never come up against this type of problem before.
buut ...I will see tomorrow if I can open the hood. Who knows, maybe the battery came disconnected somehow? Tonite, it was dark - and quite cold - in the garage (apartment garage ..the overhead light wouldn't stay on), no one had a flashlight, i had just driving NINE hours home from a trip ...you get the picture. SIiggh. Let's hope things look better in the morning! :)

There's a small cover (left side of the center console panel) use a small flat head screwdriver to remove it and insert the a small flat head scredriver into the hole to release the gear out of park.
