Grab the cover & turn. (assuming here, I don't own one).

If John's turn suggestion doesn't work the cover on my C8 just pops off.

When Celestron introduced the Farstar capability they changed the "cover" on the secondary to the one you have.
(BTW when I ordered Bob's Knobs for the same Fastar C11 I ended up getting "specials" which were longer to allow me to get my fingers around them...)
