Default Can't access trunk

I have a dead battery and I'm locked out of trunk.
Problem is car came with green valet key, no black key; Does anyone know how to open trunk in this situation?
Are there jump points under bonnet that I can use to power-up and open trunk with key fob or switch on dash? Thank you!
