Default Safe - how to open?

I just took possession of a property and there is a safe in one of the
closets. The safe is about 36"x36"x24" deep. The previous owner was
an elderly man and no longer remember the combinations. Me and a
buddy tried to move it and it would not move an inch...we think it is
at least 500 pounds in weight.

Is there a way to get it opened? If I call a locksmith and they come
open it does it mean they will break it in order to get it open or is
there a way to open it and reset the combinations so it may be used?

Thanks,

MC


Are the hinges exposed? Maybe they can be cut and replaced later after
combination is reset..Having a safe can actually draw thieves to Your
house if people see it and start flappin thier gums..Will a heavy duty
handcart help with moving it?
