It may be possible to yank out the entire cylinder from the door knob assembly by the looks of it. I would add more but this may be bordering on bypass and the mods my not allow it.

its hammer time.
call a locksmith if you really care about the lock, or hammer off the handle and turn the lock mechanism with a screwdriver if you dont care too much for the lock. Then go to Home Depot and get a combo pack from Schlage. It will include a new deadbolt and knob set both keyed alike. otherwise you can also drill the lock, insert a coat hanger to lift the pins and use a flat screw driver to turn the lock left or right (which ever unlocks it)

Call a locksmith. We don't deal with lockouts, we deal with picking as a hobby.
Oh, and if the locksmith seems too expensive to you, just destroy the lock and replace. Just be careful not to destroy it in such a way that you suddenly require a locksmith.

Smashing down a door at least once in your life (if you have the legal permission) is a fun experience to have.

Forget about the lock. Pry up that lovely weather stripping you have stapled to the door frame. Then shim the door open with a flat headed screw driver. Remove the lock and replace it with one bought from your local locksmith.

Most shed roofs in the UK rely on gravity and are not secured to the shed, there-for, lift the lid and thro your girl friend/ mum in. Job done.

or
yoink that clothesline out of that 2-1/8 for the db and loop it
pass it through the hole and under the door knob
then pull it taught and attempt to spin the knob. a slight roataion will unlock the door if it is the push button type

I think that would only work if the inner knob can be turned when it's locked.

Well... the inner knob could be turned if it's a push-button type.
This is interesting... Although this thread should really be pulled, as it's discussing bypass, I do find it interesting how many different ideas there have been.
More than one way to skin a cat.

Yeah, I was wondering why this thread wasn't locked out yet.

Having skinned a cat before, there really is only one way, and it isn't very good at all.
/Seriously

As a former fur trapper I agree with Chucklz. I always wondered where that saying came from. I prefer to use the saying "Just cause a cat has kittens you don't call them biscuits".

I messed up it should have said "Just cause a cat has kittens in the oven, you don't call them biscuits."
