I was reading one of the tutorials on this site on how to remove the top cover and decided to try it mostly out of curiosity (first mistake). I had just finished removing the rewind knob and then I shut the film door. Now for obvious reasons, I cannot get the film door to my camera open. Can someone please help me?

I keep a crochet hook in my camera repair kit for this purpose (they're also handy for resetting springs)
