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.
