Default Glove Compartment Stuck

Tried to do a search, but could not find anything.
Changed oil, then went to get the owner's manual to find out how to do reset on the oil life, and can't get into the glove compartment. It'is unlocked, but stuck. Anyone know how to get in it, without tearing something up???

TIA

Sorry, no breakthrough suggestions regarding the glove box. If you can be sure the lock/latch isn't broken maybe something in the glove box has shifted around and jammed so as to hold the door up? Maybe a good shake or hard braking will move the contents out of the way.

Without (and not from) the manual, with the key in the on position fully depress the gas pedal 3X to reset the oil life indicator.

Default Thanks,

TeeJay,
Thanks for the info. Things are reset and glove box is still stuck.
Oh, well, always good to have one to keep you honest.
