How do I get a door open after the knob was pulled off and the hinges are in a tight corner? I tried a cc?

Answers:
A pair of channel locks and a screwdriver always work for me.
Or a pair of vice grips-- get hold of the tube thing with the vice grips- one jaw inside the tube, one jaw outside (if you grip it like a nail you'll bend the tube) -- snug them tight-- you should be able to turn the thing as if it were a knob--
good luck
PS I suspect you have an old door knob-- has a slot in the piece that came off ( inside the door ) that goes over a matching bump close to the door, and holds it on when the screws are out.
Is the knob off completely or just the handle part of the knob?
If there is a protrusion, then use a pair of pliers of vise-grips to turn the business end of the door knob and open your door.
If you have a hole where the door knob was, look in and you will see a square hole in the latch mechanism. If you have the part of the knob with the square pin, insert, turn and pry the door open, otherwise use a large flat screwdriver.
If all else fails use a pin punch or even a suitable nail to tap the hinge pins out. Remove the door, change the lock, replace the pins, problem solved.
Ps. What is a cc?
