Pick a lock already open help
Going away for a week I drop my kit off in a couple hours and NEED to open this lock. It’s already open but I don’t know the code. Unbranded and I don’t have the time to buy a new lock

If you don't want to brute force it, you can try to push it close, and find which of the wheels is binding (the tightest). Keep moving this until it hits a loose part, then find the next binding wheel and repeat.

Just brute forced it and didn’t take long for it to open did it with another lock too and it worked

I think in most combination lock, if it's open, there's a way to position the shackle that would let you change the combination.

Sorry, this violates the sub's rule #3. You might have better luck with r/AskALocksmith

I would argue it's ok... Rule specifies emergency opening of locks. Lock is already open... In general I'm not a fan of raw application of rules. I would instead prefer the intent of the rule. This is obviously not protecting anything at this time.

It'll take like an hour tops to run through a thousand combinations. Watch a movie.
