Dumb question ... have you contcted Cannon yet?
No backup key? My digital (only bought as price was 50% off) model has it where you remove the digitial faceplate and a looooooong 'skeleton' type kit operates the bolt mechanism.

Contact the manufacturer for help. There has to be an alternative way to access the safe, even my cheap Harbor Freight has another way to open it. I hope you registered your purchase with the mfg..
I have contacted the manufacture but I've seen some videos of people trying to DIY it saying it's not easy getting in contact so waiting to hear back.
No skeleton key I'm aware of.

I had a small Cannon safe that the keypad failed. I tried all the YouTube tricks and nothing worked. I ended up beating the pins out of the hinges. Ruined the safe.

according to the instructions on the digital keypad, if you enter the wrong code 3 times in a row , it will lock you out for a time period.
i've always wondered since you can unplug the digital keypad what if it doesn't work and you can borrow another of the same type and use the code stored in that one to open your safe???

That is my concern based on the YT videos I watched.

Does it use batteries, maybe change the batteries if it does.
Changing the batteries resets some safes. Worth a try.
This sounds like a working solution:

Don't beat yourself up too badly over going with a bargain. A family member's dial lock failed. When you get it open can it be replaced with mechanical lock?

This is the reason why I got an analog lock on my safe. No digital keypad failure. Old school works, like muzzleloaders do.
How did you get the skeleton key? Does Cannon send you 1?

A decent lock smith can open it in a few minuets. Call around. No, I am not going to say how to do it for obvious reasons.
