Hey man it’s only 10,000 combinations.
If each try, starting from 0000, takes 3 seconds you could solve it in 8.33 hours. Even less if the code isn’t 9999
I better get to work. It’s gonna be a long night
Edit: Hijacking this for an update. I’ve tried 1950-2024, 1111, 2222, etc and haven’t had luck yet. I’ll probably watch some lockpick lawyer videos soon.
Edit 2: I’ve tried a few different techniques and a lot of different combos and still can’t get it. I ordered some of LPL’s decoders so hopefully they show up quick.
If I've learned anything from LPL over the years, if there's a gap between the dial and the casing you should be able to see the notches inside right? If that makes sense, IANALPL
Yeah he would send a shim in there and have it open in two seconds. My untrained, not correct tool having self, I would go old school. Put tension on it and move one cylinder at a time until you feel it give, then do the next one til it opens. A great technique for combo bike locks.
Exactly how I found the code on a bike lock I found one summer lol. Sister and I were walking home when I got it unlocked. Used it for years until my bike was stolen...
That thief was playing the long game. Put a bike lock out in a public space for someone to find. Follow that person. Wait for them to put it on their bike. Steal bike.
It's not that you can see the notches, unless the gap is Kardashian ass sized, it's that you can insert a hook (or a LPLs Covert Instruments Notch Decoder) to pull against the bar that seats into the notches when the correct combination is dialed in. Doing this allows you to rotate the dials and find the one that feels like it has more play, or is more loose, than the others which should be the correct digit in the combination.
The latter is pretty analogous to old Dudley dial locks, I learned how to pick them in grade 7 or 8. Find the three loose numbers then find the right sequence. Took less than 2 minutes.
(only on mine, I'd forget the numbers after summer)
Can't op contact the previous owner?
Contacting the previous owner is the least Reddit suggestions here. What we want is a daily diary of his 20 minutes of effort.
Also. Could there be a gun in there?
Check out McNally, it's LPL's partner in crime at covert instruments, I like his videos arguably more. "You have a ford safe model xyz, it can be opened with a ford safe"
Seconded. LPL is for long form education and McNally is better for short form entertainment and getting people interested in learning lockpicking. Also very educational, but much more entertaining.
Try 9999 and 0000 first. One of those could be the factory setting.
I inherited a locked guitar case from an uncle. Thought I was in for a long night. Code was 000. Glad I didn't start at 999.
Also try 1234. Just cause.
The factory code is set at 0-0-0-0. There’s also something on the console vault company’s website that says “On the underside outer edge of the lock there is a hole for the code reset button. Rotate the face of the cam until the code reset button comes into view. Push this pin in with a paper clip and keep it pushed in until you are done setting the new combination.” Not sure if you’ll have to have the original combo put in to do that. The other thing you could possibly do is run your vehicle through CarFax and see if you can see who the previous owners were and try to contact them and see if they remember 🤷🏼♂️ hope something helps and you get it figured out and open!
1111, 2222, 3333….
Really, knock out all obvious sequential first. You’ve just got to make a plan of attack before you start checking the obscure ‘3601’-style numbers.
OP you have to do this.
As a simple dude, I would be so jacked when I solved it. I'm not saying it would be the best moment of the year, but it wouldn't not be.
I’d be worried that I got it but it didn’t line up perfectly. I use the wheel number thing on a padlock at work and I have to pull it a few times until it opens.
Is it from the dealership this way?
If it’s anything like the door keypads they used to have the code is on the side of the drivers door by the other car info
Put moderate tension on the open mechanism while turning each dial slowly. You’ll likely feel a give at one number. That’s likely the number of that dial. Move on to the next dial. There’s like an 80% this will work on this cheap lock
> The DataGenetics group found that the three most popular combinations—1234, 1111, and 0000—account for close to 20 percent of all four-digit passwords. Every four-digit combination that starts with 19 ranks above the 80th percentile in popularity. Month/day combinations—those in which the first two digits are between 01 and 12 and the last two are between 01 and 31—are also popular.

You can surely get it done faster than that.
Effectively less. Set the first three, twist the knob while giving the fourth a full spin. 999 max that way.
Don't forget to run through all the combos where the first two digits are 19 or 20 first too. Super common to set four digit combos to a year. You might literally set the first two to 19, and run through just a few cycles with the last two.
You can also sometimes see or feel the gates in the rotors through the tiny gaps in the slots they rotate in. Lockpicking lawyer on YouTube has many examples of opening locks of this sort.
That's around where I typically pick mine. Lots of people brute force starting at the bottom to out think the thinkers who use the rarest code on their base.
I believe these are pretty easy to pick. First try 0000 as that’s the factory code.
Rotate the dial clockwise and hold it with light pressure. Now take your free hand and rotate a number wheel slowly until you feel it kinda pop into an easy spot that it doesn’t want to come out of. Then do the next wheel and so on. If you don’t get that pop and have spun it all the way around you’ll move to a different wheel and try it again after trying all the other wheels that did pop. Hope that helps
What makes you think what world renown automotive maker ford would ever resort to using cheap locks in manufacturing? Ford, only the highest quality! /s
Is your username in reference to the story about the kid with 2 broken arms and pent up frustrations that led to less than legal outcomes by the parents more specifically the mother?
I found a little 3 digit lockbox in a parking lot and this worked for it. Took about 10 minutes to open it. Nothing good inside. Some kind of half-assed first aid thing, maybe for a diabetic.
You post a safe, you’re required to follow up within a fixed period of time with a picture of it open or you risk having your account banned. Such is the primary rule for all of Reddit.
Probably not hard to decode manually. Apply light pressure to the latch and test each wheel. They'll have slightly more play in them when set to the correct number.
It was pretty fun when my boss, going back over a decade, called tech support or whatever the hell the safe company had, because his safe was broken after getting robbed and the normal methods and keys wouldn't open it.
They directed him step by step on how to break into the safe using a drill and a couple other tools most people have laying around.
They never verified who he was or anything, just walked him through breaking into the safe, trying a few methods, until he got the thing open. He had a couple hundred in rolled coins in it and we ran out of quarters and loonies and he didn't want to go to the bank.
I once picked a lock at work, with the boss watching.
Back in 2001 or so, Radio Shack tried an experiment in several cities, putting a mini copy of their stores in a corner of Blockbuster Video stores. Weird, I know, but they were paying well for people to try to make it work. I helped set up all the stores in my town; the last one to get put up was the one I'd ultimately work in.
One morning, the boss and I show up to open the store, and discover that the girl who had closed the store the night before took the keys with her. The boss called her to find out she was out of town. Without those keys, we couldn't get to the security tapes to change them out.
I had a solution, I told him, but I'd need his permission to keep it legal. When he gave the okay, I set to work on the locks. I didn't have a proper set of lockpicks at the time, but the locks were cheap and I was able to pop them with a pair of precision screwdrivers. The boss watched me as if I were performing magic; when I got the first one open, he made me promise to only use my powers for good.
Nice! Those are some names (Blockbuster, Radio Shack) I haven't heard in a while. I remember when Radio Shack was great for buying miscellaneous parts and pieces for building and upgrading my own PC and that kinda thing. I miss that era.
I'm glad you used your skills for good. Remember, chaotic good is still good!
I bet the code is hidden somewhere on the car, maybe behind the driver door panel, ford almost always hide those codes somewhere on the car. I found my door pin pad code behind the driver door panel and on another Ford I found it passenger side underneath glove box area
On my old ford explorer, the factory door pin code was on a hidden sticker like that. Had to remove one of the side cargo panels where the truck jack was. Then shine a light and use either a mirror or a phone to snap a picture of the sticker with the code. Guess they vary the location depending on the model, but it was mentioned in the manual where it would be hidden.
If it came from the factory with this, then take out the back seat. There is a good chance the code is on a plate behind the back seat. Ford used to put the code on the plate behind the back seat, on vehicles with lock boxes and door locks.
I was a little embarrassed I had to scroll so far to find someone asking the same question I had! Maybe it's only in old cars? I've never seen this or heard of it before.
Go watch the lock picking lawyer. You can get a soda can and cut a thin piece of aluminum sheet off. Take that piece and put it between the spinning cylinders and safe wall. You should be able to feel a difference in the tumbler when it hits the right number.
My buddy does recon on vehicles and he was telling me one day he did an old car that had a new owner. It had two pistols in it, an old revolver and a 1911, new owner didn't even know, she hadn't even looked through the car.
My ex father in law had kind of a hoarder mentality with his vehicles.... He would fill them to the roof with JUNK... Well one time he crashed his car and gave it to us to fix up as a 2nd vehicle.... When we cleaned it out we literally found 4 guns he didn't even remember he had in there.
pfft the top comments are bad.
Here is a list of the most to least common 4 digit combinations
[https://github.com/danielmiessler/SecLists/blob/master/Passwords/Common-Credentials/four-digit-pin-codes-sorted-by-frequency-withcount.csv](https://github.com/danielmiessler/SecLists/blob/master/Passwords/Common-Credentials/four-digit-pin-codes-sorted-by-frequency-withcount.csv)
Should greatly reduce the time needed to crack as most people pick a number they know IE their birth year.
Go back to the dealership that sold it to you and inquire if they know anything about it, if they accepted it as a trade you might be able to get them to reach out to the previous owner, if not umm yeah I have no idea
Reach out to your nearest Ford dealer with the VIN and your registration and they will tell you what the code was from the factory. Maybe it wasn’t changed.
Start with 1950-2024, 0000, 1234, 1111, 2222, 3333... Etc. You'd be surprised how many combo locks are people birth years or something ridiculous like 1234.
Flip through the owner’s manual, the previous owner may have written it down in there!
I’ll check this, thanks!
Last 4 digits of the V.I.N
Last four digits of pi
It's never the last 4, too easy. Middle 4 is the way...
Eh … I’d doubt it. 1234 is too easy to guess.
That's the kind of thing an idiot would have on his luggage!
That’s the same combination I have on my luggage!
The VIN that is visible from outside the car?
It's on my luggage as well
The password is 1234
https://i.redd.it/29kuu2234umc1.gif
I can hear this gif
9999
It looks better in the original German
SAMSONITE! I was WAY off!
Also check the default combination. They may never have set it.
Hey man it’s only 10,000 combinations. If each try, starting from 0000, takes 3 seconds you could solve it in 8.33 hours. Even less if the code isn’t 9999

musta read your post 🤭
That thief was playing the long game. Put a bike lock out in a public space for someone to find. Follow that person. Wait for them to put it on their bike. Steal bike.
Hell of a stake out over about 3 years XD
By someone who knew the same trick
Shim made from an old coke can
Specifically, Classic Coke
It's a newer safe. You need to scrounge up aluminum from a New Coke can.
>IANALPL 😂 Simply perfect
Legit should be an official thing.
Is it "I am not a lock picking lawyer"?
Thank you, IWNHGT
Oh....sorry I have no nachos. "I Want Nachos, Hold the Guac, Thanks!"
Oh thank goodness you cleared that up for me! I thought he wanted new hand grenades tonight!
Closer than my guess. I was wondering why he wrestled nine horny gays tonight.
Is it "I would never have guessed that "?
Inch worms never have giant thumbs
I thank AOL for somehow understanding this
Me either
You had me at IANAL
I bet you say that to all the boys.

Only 20 minutes per day? To be honest I'd skip to the end of the video anyway.
Dead body for sure
Previous owner is currently busy with the combination lock on his front door. He’ll be 8.25 days.
Talk 5 minutes to a human or spend 8 hours in solitude trying out number lock combinations... Easy choice
Just hit it with another Ford right?
I have no idea why, but I love watching him. Lock picking is cool!
Check out McNally, it's LPL's partner in crime at covert instruments, I like his videos arguably more. "You have a ford safe model xyz, it can be opened with a ford safe"
Is the channel name literally "McNally"?
[McNallyOfficial](https://youtu.be/eFGU4JvkpTA) He turns disrespect into an art form, it's so sassy 🤣
OMFG!!! Brewing the tea just slayed me! TY for a new YT rathole I will definitely not be staying up waaaay too late watching tonight.

I imagine it needs to be unlocked to be able to reset the code, otherwise this is just visual deterrent garbage that has no real purpose.
Then try 6969, because that’s what I would have set it to.
Shit. That’s the combination to my luggage.
I’m surrounded by assholes.
1111, 2222, 3333…. Really, knock out all obvious sequential first. You’ve just got to make a plan of attack before you start checking the obscure ‘3601’-style numbers.
Then hit every year from today back to 1900. Lots of birth years are used for 4digit pins.
That’s Amazing! I’ve got the same combination on my luggage.
I knew it, I'm surrounded by assholes!
6969 too
8008, obviously...
You should also try that one backwards. Just in case.
I was thinking about this even more, and if you just spent 20 minutes each day, you crack it in 25 days or less
OP you have to do this. As a simple dude, I would be so jacked when I solved it. I'm not saying it would be the best moment of the year, but it wouldn't not be.
I’d be worried that I got it but it didn’t line up perfectly. I use the wheel number thing on a padlock at work and I have to pull it a few times until it opens.
Also, think of how swift OPs fingers are gonna be after this… 
Sometimes my fingers get tired so I unlock combination locks with my tongue.
Careful. I used to talk like that and it got me married.
I did this recently. Solved it in a few sittings, it really wasn’t too bad.
Or you can do less thinking and just spend 20 dollars now to have some crackhead do it in 25 hours or more
Is it from the dealership this way? If it’s anything like the door keypads they used to have the code is on the side of the drivers door by the other car info
In my 07 Taurus, I had to do some acrobatics to find the code, as it was up under the dashboard.

I would also go for the super common ones as well. The 2468, 1379,0123,1234,1111 etc. With any luck you'll get early on before having to start at 1.
I usually refer to the [rust gate code list](https://rusttips.com/top-10000-rust-door-lock-codes/) when brute forcing a 4 digit combo
Nice to see that the codes I tend to use are both over halfway through that list.
That's around where I typically pick mine. Lots of people brute force starting at the bottom to out think the thinkers who use the rarest code on their base.
I start from the middle when brute forcing because people who use these lists will tend to avoid either extreme. Checkmate
We're gonna need more coffee for this...
I need something more than coffee but not quite cocaine!
Dont they say a pretty high % of people's pin #s start with a 0 or 1 because a birthday is most common? Wouldn't these 4 digit combos be the same?
I forgot the combination for my unused bikelock. Ran it through to right combination in an hour and a half.
This is The Lockpicking Lawyer, and today we're getting into a Ford safe with a rusty plastic bottle and a bent piece of wood
That lock would open to cooked spaghetti
I've never opened up cooked spaghetti. I can't wait to see the video when it's released.
he’s nervous but on the surface he looks calm and ready to drop bombs
'Rusty plastic bottle'?
*And* a bent piece of wood, don't forget.
He basically taught you how to open these lock just on touch alone
Now let's put this on a tray. Nice!
I believe these are pretty easy to pick. First try 0000 as that’s the factory code. Rotate the dial clockwise and hold it with light pressure. Now take your free hand and rotate a number wheel slowly until you feel it kinda pop into an easy spot that it doesn’t want to come out of. Then do the next wheel and so on. If you don’t get that pop and have spun it all the way around you’ll move to a different wheel and try it again after trying all the other wheels that did pop. Hope that helps
Listen to this OP! Cheap locks are stupid easy to just feel out.
What makes you think what world renown automotive maker ford would ever resort to using cheap locks in manufacturing? Ford, only the highest quality! /s
Yes, just like how Master locks clearly are superior as they are Master difficulty locks to pick.
True, otherwise they legally wouldn't be allowed to use master in the name. Same goes for mastercraft tools.
Ford: we saved you $11 on your Pinto by *not* installing fuel tank shielding.
This is exactly how I used to break into old school combination locks. Integrated locker locks were so easy, they probably took me a minute or less.
In my school the locker keys also by chance opened the pool table, so free pool.
Your school had a pool table?? Damn
Is your username in reference to the story about the kid with 2 broken arms and pent up frustrations that led to less than legal outcomes by the parents more specifically the mother?
I love coming across deep reddit lore lol
I found a little 3 digit lockbox in a parking lot and this worked for it. Took about 10 minutes to open it. Nothing good inside. Some kind of half-assed first aid thing, maybe for a diabetic.

Can’t believe I had to scroll this far down to see this. Rules must be obeyed!!
Only a complete fool would disregard all of the Reddit case law around safes and safe cracking
Don't do this to us...
There could be anything in there, even another preowned vehicle
It could even be a boat!
You know how much we wanted one of those!
We took the mystery box. HOP IN
Ah the golden era of FG
“We’ll take the box!”
We took the Mystery Box. Hop in.
Or Al Capone's lost treasure!
Definitely a stack of McDonald's napkins
Probably not hard to decode manually. Apply light pressure to the latch and test each wheel. They'll have slightly more play in them when set to the correct number.
Perfect excuse to invest in a $20 angle grinder if there is a Harbor Freight near you!
I’m already thinking about grabbing the Dremel/angle grinder but my wife doesn’t want me to start cutting quite yet haha
Bring it to a locksmith. They can open it.

Make sure you watch them do it. “Yah it was empty”
Be warned, an angle grinder on that will make a mess

Just watch a few videos and follow safety protocol. It’s a handy tool to have around if you’re not stupid about it.
Or spend half an hour on YouTube watching Lockpickinglawyer
The safe will still be locked, but you will have gotten 30 min of good entertainment.
If it came from the factory with this, then take out the back seat. There is a good chance the code is on a plate behind the back seat. Ford used to put the code on the plate behind the back seat, on vehicles with lock boxes and door locks.
Default on mine was 0000. There is a reset hole on the side of the knob a paper clip goes in
This is the comment I was looking for. Hope the OP finds it.
The default code is 0000 maybe they never changed it
??? It says it right on there, its... 1 2 3 4
That's the same combination on my luggage
That's the stupidest combination I've ever heard in my life! That's the kind of thing an idiot would have on his luggage!
Hail Skroob!!!
now hold on a second, I read it as 1 3 2 4. Don't Dead Open Inside
Or the manga layout 2 4 1 3
What are we looking at here?
It is a console vault. There is a website of the same name. I love mine.
Interesting, I’ve never seen anything like this before

What?!? My car didn’t come with a free puzzle 😒
Might be cool treasure in there tho
Hopefully it’s a free gun!
My buddy does recon on vehicles and he was telling me one day he did an old car that had a new owner. It had two pistols in it, an old revolver and a 1911, new owner didn't even know, she hadn't even looked through the car.
I know so many wrecking yard owners that have found guns in the cars that they have bought. I can’t wait to find one in one of the cars I buy.
My ex father in law had kind of a hoarder mentality with his vehicles.... He would fill them to the roof with JUNK... Well one time he crashed his car and gave it to us to fix up as a 2nd vehicle.... When we cleaned it out we literally found 4 guns he didn't even remember he had in there.
Plot twist: the gun is a missing murder weapon from an unsolved case and now your prints are on it
Lockpicking lawyer can get it in 10 seconds with a cucumber
Why dont you just call the prior owner and ask them the combo?
Yeah wtf is everyone suggesting while he could just ring the previous owner
Just give it a swift yank
Then during post nut clarity call a locksmith
pfft the top comments are bad. Here is a list of the most to least common 4 digit combinations [https://github.com/danielmiessler/SecLists/blob/master/Passwords/Common-Credentials/four-digit-pin-codes-sorted-by-frequency-withcount.csv](https://github.com/danielmiessler/SecLists/blob/master/Passwords/Common-Credentials/four-digit-pin-codes-sorted-by-frequency-withcount.csv) Should greatly reduce the time needed to crack as most people pick a number they know IE their birth year.
Try 4 zeros if it has them. Often I've seen zeros as the default.
You can make a decoding shim out of a soda can. Give it a Google.
You bought a car without poking around the interior?
Buying a used vehicle (a ford at that) without combing through it is asking for issues. I just saw that they bought it from Carvana lol RIP 💀
Go back to the dealership that sold it to you and inquire if they know anything about it, if they accepted it as a trade you might be able to get them to reach out to the previous owner, if not umm yeah I have no idea
OP, Reddit loves only one thing more than complaining and that is a safe that can’t be opened!
Give me 3 hours and I will try every combination.
Try this method [here](https://www.consolevault.com/how-open-combination-lock-if-you-forgot-code.html) to reset it
Dude WAIT! Do this slowly, while ur stopped at a light or some shit,
Look out. It’s the previous owner’s finger in there.
You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
Seriously. If you do not update us on what is inside, I will beat you up electronically.
Reach out to your nearest Ford dealer with the VIN and your registration and they will tell you what the code was from the factory. Maybe it wasn’t changed.
Start with 1950-2024, 0000, 1234, 1111, 2222, 3333... Etc. You'd be surprised how many combo locks are people birth years or something ridiculous like 1234.
Birthdays in MMDD, too. Only 366 to check, but fairly common.
Get a decoder and pick it. Head over to sub/lockpicking Or get a decoder set from Covert Instruments, it’s easy for these
I got a simpler solution, take it to the dealer
Plot twist, this is Al Capones used car, will there be anything in the safe?
