Which side are the hinges on? If on the accessible side remove the pin (from the top) from each hinge and pull the door off. (Please don't tell me you left the toolbox in the bedroom!!)
Not sure what the 1/8th" hole on the side of the door knob is. On the face, in the center frequently allows for a small tool (essentially a skinny flat-blade screwdriver) to be inserted and twisted to disengane the lock. The hole on the side may allow removal of the knob so you can get to the latch mechanism.
