Turn off your computer and look at the CD drive. Somewhere near the CD tray there will be a small hole. Stick a paper clip or similar straight into that hole to manually open the tray. It takes a bit of force.

If that doesn't work, or your CD drive doesn't have one, then you could try to pry it open. In my experience, you can usually force it open without breaking it. However, if the tray is locked or stuck in there, you might ruin it completely.

Good luck!

Have you tried ejecting it by using the button on the actual computer. Sometimes programs dont respond as well, like windows media player. There shouldnt really be a problem with it opening. Also try restartin the computer.
