I don't know, but maybe your calculation is wrong or my Excel file is wrong. But I don't think that my excel file is wrong. I did not see any redundancy, and all the combo might exist.
I consider that I have the digits 0123456789XYZ (which is the case for the Digital locks we have in France), and a 5 digits combo.
Locks are different, you also have some locks with less or more buttons.
And I already saw such a lock which needed to push 2 times the same button. I tried several times without pushing 2 times, it did not work, I don't know how it worked exactly...
Unfortunately, I think we cannot determine the number of possible combos in general, because there are a lot of different locks.
