If you are absolutely sure that the cap turns to come off (does it have
arrows on the top?) and that the cap doesen't simply snap off, and the cap
isn't already turned off and isn't just waiting to lift off, an old trick
is
to take a teakettle of water and get it to a good rolling boil, put a
cloth on the cap, then slowly pour the water on the cloth.  After a
few minutes the heat will soften the plastic enough to loosen the cap.
