i have the exact same problem with my 2001 escape xlt. I was studying abroad in Nepal all last semester so I had it in storage. It ran fine a month ago when my father started it up, but then after sitting for another month, i can't even open the doors. I tried the remote opener, which doesn't work at all- locks or alarm. then i also have tried the manual lock on the driver's door and the rear door, none of which work. this is a problem because i can't pop the hood without getting into the car.

I just had a local auto shop come unlock the door with a special 'unlocker' tool. After replacing the battery, my escape is running great.

you may have a bad door lock solenoid I haven't looked at mine, but there may be an access panel on the inside of the door, that you may be able to get through to manually unlock it this will also in theory give you access to the solenoid to replace it. If there is an access

They use the same system in BMW's for there power lock systems. It is an entirely electronic system and the turning of the key just completes a circuit to signal the solenoids to pop the locks your best bet is to have a lock smith get the door open and either charge or replace the battery. Its a crappy set up but without battery issues works exceptionally well. It actually makes for less moving parts, less to break.
