With a tension wrench, apply pressure and torque on the cylinder with tapping at the pins with a pick, work from back to front to find the hardest pin to tap. (most resistance) Mix a combination of varying torque, pressure, and pushing the pin until it locks, once it has been locked move on to the second hardest pin. An average padlock has 2-6 pins depending on the quality most only have 4 or 3.

You can also use a bump key. A bump key is a key that's crafted in such a way that all grooves are at the maximum depth. You're going to insert the bump key all the way in before pulling it back a notch. Hold the handle of the key with one hand and use your other hand to give the key a bump. Use something like a hammer's handle. Wait for a split-second before turning the key towards the direction that will open the lock. Repeat if necessary. Just remember to always pull it back a notch.
