You have a keyed knobset on your bedroom? that's kinda unusual.. are you on your phone or computer? take a photo of the actual lock and upload it to http://tinypic.com and paste the link here, it's gonna be hard to help you otherwise.

or youtube it and look for how to open door with credit card.

good luck

Call a locksmith or take hinge pins out and remove entire door. Then make sure you always have keys on you so this doesn't happen again.

It looks like you have already tried "knifing" the latch and "screw-driving" the key hole. I suggest you call a locksmith and use the "credit card" method.

If it's just closed the door the credit card shimming may work, but if it's completely locked then be careful or you might break you credit card too.
(

)

It all depends on the latch. If you can exert force on the inclined part you might force it open, if you can't reach it, than go to what the other suggested:

Call a locksmith or take hinge pins out


Anyway be careful.
(and needless to say only open locks if they are actually yours.)
To infinity... and beyond!

I don't think the credit card trick will work as the door appears to be out swing.

Hoping the OP solved their problem, I'm honestly having some spider senses tingle if you know what I'm saying, so its time to wrap this one up.
