the code is a small white sticker on rear hatch,but you will have to get it open to get the code,call your local lock smith out to your home,hey can unlock it.

usually if you dont set the code its just 123456789 then press 4 to unlock the doors or atleast it was on my 98 5.0. Nick(:

mine is on a white sticker next to the parking brake (2011 ford explorer), not hard to find but you will have to get on your knees and look under dash board just next to parking brake.

Get a wedge or a 2nd person with a stick to wedge the back glass a little bit. Grab your antenna and bend the tip to a 90 degree angle. Theres an unlock button within reach on the drivers side. Youll have to get your fingers in there past the knuckles to push down and youll get it. I just did it after seeing it somewhere in this thread. I had to get a pretty decent gap to get my knuckles in there but it didnt break and it worked. Im not responsible for injuries if your 2nd person slips or lets go.
