It depends on the make of the lock. Many time you need to know the combination. Sesame locks require a pin that goes in the shackle hole when the shackle is 180 degrees from open. Master combination locks with a scroll combination require a reset key that can only be used when the current combination is known in order to change. Other padlocks require the lock to be open and the shackle turned 180 degrees and pushed down while setting the combination.
