There are many posts that will show you how to change a door knob, when the door is open. It needs to be open because the mechanism inside the door is removed n'y pulling it.
What to do when you can't unlock the door and therefore stuck shut?
Unscrew the 2 screws of the knob.
Remove the knob
With a screwdriver you can force the spindle out
At this point, you can try to remove the door from its hinges. If this works, great, you then can remove what is left of the plate.
If not...which was my case, you'll need to saw with a hack saw, enough to make a dent for a screwdriver in the bolting mechanism (party that entends into the striking plate).
I was then able to insert a screwdriver and hammer the bolting mechanism back in the door and the door opens...Then you can change your knob!!!
