Can't get a drive in or out

[Blues11]

I use an old ReadyNAS Pro Business as a nightly backup machine for a ReadyNAS 516.

Today I was cleaning dust out of the Pro Business and while reinserting one drive it locked closed before it was fully inserted. Now I am unable to remove it. I've tried very firmly pressing the button. I've tried inserting a paperclip into the hole in the button. Nothing seems to work.

How can I safely remove the drive so I can put it in properly? Thank you.

I found a youtube video that shows the hidden place where there's a latch to open the drive lock. That did the trick. Sorry for the unnecessary post.
