Hello and welcome!

Watch these 24 videos and you'll be able to open that see thru padlock

Schuyler Towne's Lesson Videos:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVSL0liiWoc&list=PL66CD42F86F3A1F85

In a nutshell, insert a tension wrench at the bottom of the keyhole, rest your finger on it in order to apply rotation on the plug, not too hard now, just enough force as if you are pressing a key on a keyboard, and hold it steady at that pressure, then insert a pick and start lifting pins until you create a shearline and all the pins that the springs are pushing into the plug are pushed out so the plug can rotate, keep rotating and you'll see the shackle pop open.

skip to video #12 to get your feet wet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmhQ1la6Lgw&list=PL66CD42F86F3A1F85&index=12

After watching those videos, please poke around here and read some of the tutorials, we'd hate to rewrite everything from scratch.
