To open a safe, you generally need the combination or key. For a combination lock, rotate the dial to the right three times to clear it, stop on the first number, turn it left passing the first number and stop on the second, then turn it right again to the last number and open. If it’s a key lock, simply insert the key and turn. For electronic safes, enter the code on the keypad. If you've forgotten the combination or lost the key, contacting the manufacturer or a professional locksmith is your safest bet.
