I think the problem here is less getting the cable off than it is unwedging the padlock from the slot on the side of the computer - usually there's an expansion or rotation flange that goes into a standard-size hole in the shell of the device. So even with a bolt cutter you'd still be toting around that part, affixed to the box... 5 digits is a lot to brute-force, but I agree with an upthread poster that by applying a little tension you can probably hear/feel the tumblers when they fall into place. - Eric Sorenson - N37 17.255 W121 55.738 - http://twitter.com/ahpook - _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list Tech@lists.lopsa.org http://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
