Trial and error.

Start at 00001 and work your way around.

You could probably do it while watching television over a period of time, do a bit every night.

That would work, but it would take a while and is does not use much style!

Here is a better way: If it is a lock that the user sets the combination, they frequently use a number that they will not forget.

So try :

Birthdays

Boyfriend/Girlfriend/husband/Wife birthday

last 4 of SSN

first 4 of SSN

address

zip code

Phone number

etc.

And try them different ways, for example 04/09/65 could be 0409 or 4965 or 0965.

You get the idea. This can cut the number of possibles to a couple of dozen.
