You have to first disengage your garage door opener from your garage door. Then, you can open it manually.
Many individual never thought of the work our garage door does - lifting and closing a large door every day, over and over again.. The fact is, your garage door opener really doesn't do much work, because of a physics helper, the spring! Springs are utilized as the door is lowered, and the springs are stretched out (the motor literally pushes the garage door down). When it is time to lift the door, the springs do 95% of the work as they recoil and pull the door back up, leaving the garage door motor to do little more than wind up the loose cable or chain. This is why most garage door openers are rated at only 1/2 to 1 horse power - it doesn't take much power to lift up a garage door that is being pulled up by stretched springs.
The door assembly must be able to accommodate the apparatus of the garage door opener. Many older homes require a replacement garage door before an opener can be installed. You must also have clearance between the rolled up door and the ceiling to accommodate the door opener motor.
Press the button that will be used for the door opener until the light starts flashing. Then hold up your garage door opener remote and press to open garage door. It will then set.

You can't - the door you have is one foot too narrow. Take the door back and get one that will fit.

My daughter is beginning to learn how to drive a car. She accidentally backed up into the overhead garage door which means it needs to be repaired. Where can I buy a new overhead garage door?

If you have a garage door that has a lock engaged and you try to use an opener to get the door to go up, the motor (opener) will still try to engage and move the door into the up position. The motor and the lock will be fighting against each other and could damage your door. It could also damage the lock. If you have an opener on your garage it is always best to remove the lock. A garage door opener acts as a lock on it's own so it's unnecessary to have both.
