This is a "frowned on" bit of advice as it is said to damage the pipe, but it works. So, get a vice grip wrench and pinch the flexible pipe a couple of inches from the master cylinder, it only needs enough pinch to stop the lever from working, un-clamp. Open a bleed nipple. press lever fully down, clamp on, let lever off, clamp off again, repeat until fluid starts to flow from bleed nipple.

Re-your private message, what is it doing? Can you not get the lever to lock solid when you have the hose clamped? If so you have not got it clamped properly, or have no fluid in the cylinder. Put clamp on, slacken the Master cylinder banjo bolt a turn and press lever down, some fluid should start to bubble from banjo. Tighten banjo and let lever off, a big gulp of fluid should then disappear from the reservoir and the lever should now refuse to go down when the hose is clamped. Make sure you don't run short of fluid in the reservoir as you bleed.

As I wrote above what is it doing? Symptoms of a seized slave cyl are totally different to those of air in the system, in fact you get a lever that locks solid but the wheel still turns, or a wheel that is stiff to turn whether the brake is applied or not, if a slave cyl is sticking.
