Default Help! bucket of salt is now a bucket of rock
I guess there might have been an improper seal on the lid and now it super hard!

can't even grab a cup full.

anyone have any ideas on how to loosen it up?

i don't have a humidifier,

would pouring some water into it be a bad idea?

hammer and chisel.
I would not pour water in it just break it into chunks.

just hit it with a heavy hammer it will break up, maybe a flathead screwdriver to turn it over.
