It's an 8 by 10 I forgot it in there for probably over a month, now it's stuck in such a way that looks like it's embeded onto the glass. I tried with vapor from an iron but it did nothing.

FIRST, scan the picture at the highest resolution your scanner and computer can handle and then save the file. (At minimum, scan at a resolution of 400dpi.)
Most scanners are not "end user serviceable" so it might not be feasible to remove the glass. But if you can and the picture is worth the risk of damaging your scanner, then do so. Otherwise you can get a pretty good re-print from a 400dpi scan.
SECOND, if you were NOT able to remove the glass, then apply HEAT to the back of the picture using a HAIR DRYER. As the picture warms up, very gingerly lift the picture off of the glass corner-to-corner.
If you were able to remove the glass from the scanner, then apply heat to the glass using the hair dryer.
Lastly, if you were unsuccessful with the hair dryer, then...try the razor method.

Hi. Follow the advice to scan it first. Try removing the glass (it should just lift out) and freeze the glass and photo. They have different expansion rates so this may work. If it does not then keep the frozen glass in a towel to prevent condensation while it warms.

If it's stuck, chances are it's a gonner . . .
1st step : SCAN IT NOW, on MAXIMUM resolution BEFORE you do anything, thenif it does get damaged you can have a new one printed !
2nd : Find a VERY SHARP utility knife blade (Stanley knife blade in UK)
Try to VERY GENTY get under a cornet to seperate it from glass.
If you can, totally remove the scanner lid to do this, and unpolug it to make for easier access.
Work around the edge using teh blade like a glass scraper, if it doesn't come off cleanly, then make a new copy fromthe scanned image.

there's a product stated as UnDU which you will discover in craft shops. it relatively is not meant to break photos, yet while it relatively is an extremely previous image, i could try it in a small corner first.

Try heat
Use a lighter or something to warm the ink (the one in the picture!) and it should come up nicely.
But...
Dont burn the printer/scanner
Dont burn the picture (they burn quite easy, for real)
and dont overhear the picture, the ink can bubble-up if the heat is too close to it.
