Oh dear! Is it on tracks? You may be able to push up and in to knock it off the tracks. If it's not, could you slide something underneath the door with a hook of some kind at the end? Then maybe you could pull it towards you to open it. Do you have a photo? -

Is there a lock or only a mechanicl clamp. If a mechanical clamp try a slightly over sized wood screw, grab with a pair of pliers and pull. -

I've opened the old style ones by inserting a screwdriver and messing around until it moves the latch, hold and pull out. -

If the door opens out you can remove the hinge pins with a screwdriver and hammer. Pry he door out on the hinge side with a flat screwdriver. If the door opens in use a small flat screwdriver, credit card, butter knife, and force the latch to engage. Replace the broken lockset with a new one.
