Yes.  

Look on the right side of the unit, maybe 6-12 inches back from the
front panel.  You'll see a little cover plate, about the size of a
business card, held on by two Phillips head screws.  Take that off;
under it is, if I remember right, a thin steel cable.  Push against
that cable -- it's the actuating cable that goes from the solenoid to
the latch.  This should unlock the lock.  You probably have to operate
the lock while pushing the cable.
