Poor Excuse for a Thief
You know all of those combination locks from your youth (aka middle school and high school locker decorations)? I have two of them - one is open, one is locked - both of them completely useless. I've been trying to "crack" the combination with a mix of wild guesses and attempts at using some method on a harvard guy's website. I have basically given up hope that I will ever be able to use these things for anything other than as a device to give me an advantage in a barroom brawl or in a street fight (much more fashionable than brass knuckles). The thing that really bothers me now is the idea that they will never be opened. Archeologists could dig this wonderful treasure up a million years from now... and still only be able to sucker punch someone with it.

i have one combo lock and i dread losing it...it's so old now that it basically just opens when you find the last number in the combination...it's old and cracked but it still works...i use it everyday at the gym and i don't know that my memory will ever be able to remember another combination if i lose this one...

If one of your lock works like most locks, try this:
1. push down the lock with the end of the "U" outside the casing.
2. Reset the combination
3. pull the "U" back up
4. close the "U" back into the casing
5. Mess up the combination
6. Use the combo reset you chose earlier to open it.
Of course, this only works if your lock is one that displace a four digit combo and not one of those rotating ones. Now don't you wish I posted this last part at the beginning? ^_^
