I'd hate to throw this combination lock out...

Well, I was able to get it this evening in about 15 minutes. Being gentle was the key.

I noticed the lock would show extra lateral play when the dials were correct on "bolt" side of the lock. That gave me half the combination.

Continuing to work to the left, I would get more and more play in the lock...

Presto

I'm a n00b and it seems simple. Scary.

My roommate had the same problem a few weeks ago, and I figured it out in a similar way. I could see the mechanism in a few of the gaps, but most of it was how forge did it

I remember running around in the 6th grade showing kids how to do this to THEIR (and if it wasn't theirs we were sure to get the expressed written consent of the person who owned the lock . Maybe that will keep DB off my back) bike lock. I never got good enough to do it on any of the more "quality" disc locks, though.
