Do You Know the Password?

By bruno

No. (Sorry, obscure reference to a book in which the protagonist is trying to hack into a computer, tries eleven-thousand combinations, and then out of frustration realizes that the password is 'No').

Anyway, you know how combination locks are infuriating because you never remember the combination? Well, this word-based combination lock from Staples looks a lot more promising. And since the stuff you keep behind a combo-lock is never that important (gym clothes, textbooks, etc.), the 100,000 possible letter combinations should more than suffice.

Of course, as long as there are videos like this one out there, you might have to keep your smelly socks under extra surveillance: How To Crack a Combination Lock .
