Pressed some sort of Lock key from the inside before closing the door and now it can't be opened. It's a LiftMaster and I don't have any access into the garage besides the main lift gate...

Any ideas? besides breaking the door....

Bang your nephew's head against the garage door and hope his big empty head knocks the lock loose.

yes

Try turning power to all that stuff on and off from the breaker, maybe you'll have to leave it off for a few minutes. Hopefully it gets "reset" and you can open it again.

^ That does work sometimes, depending on the manufacturer :D
