You should be able to see the interior of the mechanism. Insert a regular screw driver into the square metal space in the center of the mechanism and turn the screw driver to open the door. Here is a link with more detail: https://www.networx.com/article/how-to-fix-a-doorknob-thats-come-loose
If you have trouble with the above, closet doors open outward, so you should be able to see the hinges. Find a hammer and a large nail. Insert the nail into the hole on the bottom of the bottom hinge and hit it with the hammer. This forces the hinge pin upward, Once it is pushed upward you should be able to grab it with your hand or a pliers and pull it straight up. Do the same with the top hinge. You should be able to remove the door completely.
Same thing happened to me ! I slid a butter knife between frame and door and just kept playing with the latch until I pushed it down. Remember to tape it down until you fix it. Ho p e this helps.
