You must have a cipher text and its original text (If You are Lucky)
Try Brute Force with different keys (Work 100% But takes alot time)
Try Intelligent Search for key (Require some data about the key)

Only way to solve cipher without key is BFA (Brute Force Attract )
its not easy if the key is large..
