G-SPEED Shuttle EV Series - front panel lock button stuck

Does anyone know how to unlock the front panel button? It’s stuck and I can’t seem to switch it back to unlock to open the front panel to insert a EV external drive. I searched everywhere for product manual or a walkthrough video and couldn’t find anything that would help with this.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Solved, there’s a small hole on the front (in the unlock icon) where you can use a paperclip to trigger it to unlock.
