corbin combination padlock locked

[andrex66]

Hello mates,

i got this padlock from a customer who managed to lock it in the closed position like this:






I tried the pull-rotate wheels thing but with no success, does it work if the lock is in this "configuration"?
Do i have to stop as soon as the wheel starts to get harder to rotate or shoul i ortate it more?

Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance and have fun,
Andrea

set the original combo, then rotate slightly all the wheels in the shackle direction. this should open the lock.

good luck

Hey Femurat,
thank you for answering
i don't have the original combo anymore,since the dude smartly managed to set a random one before locking the padlock.
I managed to visually decode it,anyway, so it's open now.
Thank you again!
Andrea
