Turn the key twice in the lock and they will all unlock.

You can also buy a remote (or two) and have it programmed by a dealer.

If the water pump was replaced, they likely did the timing belt too, but pull off the top cover (its just one screw) and inspect the backside of the belt for cracking.

A learning experience is one of those things that says, "You know that thing you just did? Don't do that."
