Bad news I suspect.

The easiest way is likely to be to retrieve the key and combination
from whoever had them last. Even if this involves phoning around a
_lot_.

You can of course have it opened for you. This requires one phone call
and a sum of money. However safes (small enough to transport) are
fairly cheap these days, as there are plenty around from closures like
yours, and many come with keys. So the chances are that an empty safe
is cheaper to replace than it is to have opened for you.

You can open it yourself. This is fairly easy (just slow and noisy),
although it's impossible (for practical values) to open it in a way
that's re-usable afterwards, as it would be if it was drilled
carefully by a locksmith. If you hack carefully though, and you take
out a reasonably sized panel from around the lock, then you can remove
the lock mechanism and the wreckage of the relocker plate, leaving
enough access to the bolts to withdraw them. You can then repair by
welding in a whole new lock mechanism, using the original bolts.
