To open a Brinks lock you first have to set the lock on zero. Next you turn it clockwise four complete turns, then do it once more stopping on the first number of the combination. Then turn the dial counter clockwise for two turns, do it once more and stop on the second number, turn the dial clockwise twice stopping on the third number of the combination, finally turn counter clockwise to the fourth number. The lock should then open.
Possibly with a chisel and sledgehammer, but they are designed to not open without the correct code.
probably get it fixedor to be safe open it in a controlled environment e.g. backyard, outside ect (not in your room or toilet)
