You have to enter through the back doors inside Lamplight Cavern (the place that is controlled by the kids). Just wait till you have to go to vault 87 during the main quest, and then talk to the "Mayor" of the "city." If you can persuade him to let you use the door with the computer, your job is easy. You might have to go rescue the three children from Paradise Falls though to prove yourself (I usually did this before heading to Lamplight, so I don’t know for sure). Otherwise, you can go through the path infested with super mutants (accessed from inside the cave too) in order to get to another rear entrance to vault 87. References : Personal experience.
You have to go through little lamplight – Once you have rescued the child slaves from paradise falls, they will tell you to meet them there & add the marker to your pip-boy map. If you are at the correct part in the story (as it won’t let you do it if you haven’t completed enough of the main story arc), you can convince someone at the back gate of little lamplight to let you through so that you can get to the back entrance of valut 87.

Enter through Little Lamplight. Here’s the funny thing, though. Should you make it to the Vault’s door, it’s un-openable. But as a consolation prize, there is a body with an assault rifle there. References : Fallout 3 Expert, having logged over 400 hours in the game.
