my door knob is circular in shape. By pressing the middle button, my room will be automatically lock. By turning the knob from inside of my room, it will be unlock again. However from the outside, you will have to use a key to unlock the door. Now, the problem is both of these solutions do not work and my room is still unlock. How can unlock my door?

Usually these kind of door knobs dont have an actual KEY that goes to them, they are just a slit that you turn. If it is like that, then just get a butterknife and put it in the key hole and turn and ta-da, its unlocked!

Tee A-
Your inquiry isn't written real clearly, but keyed or not it sounds like you have access to both sides of the door right now but cannot open the door because the lock has malfunctioned. It's very likely you will need a new lock/knob assembly.
In this case the best way to handle it is to remove the hinge pins so that you can take the door out of the opening. Then you will have easy access to disassemble/replace the doorknob hardware without damaging woodwork.
