Just found this tip on Facebook, will verify this afternoon.
If the glove box will not open. Open the passenger side door. Look on the right side of the glove box area, now exposed by opening the passenger side door, for a small (about 1 inch square) access panel. Pry open the access panel. Push a long rod (an 1/4 inch socket tool extension works well) into the access hole and push against the locking mechanism. The glove box door should pop open.

I will check this out this afternoon and find out if it circumvents valet mode.
