Heavens! So many answers.

You need a flat head screwdriver small enough to fit through the hole in the middle of the knob. Put it in straight until you can feel the little slot inside, and turn it to unlock the door.

Yeah, I have similar privacy locks in my house; a small "precision" Phillips screwdriver is used to unlock them from outside. The only tricky part, assuming you have the right size, is pushing the screwdriver in totally straight through the hole; if you skew it, you'll miss the head.
