Especially if you know something like "one button, then two buttons, then one button", and each button can be pushed only once, as is true with these door locks but not necessarily the poster's 5-position-by-10-value laptop lock. In my case, it was a 5-button lock with the buttons in a circle, but same principle. Another fellow and I divided the (remaining) code space in half and each took one door. We also knew that the combinations were the same on the two doors. We were through in under 30 seconds. This was merely a data center in a Fortune 100 company, not the Pentagon. _______________________________________________ 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/
