it would have to wok on the phone that you are using because some phones lets you lock the keys and enter a code to unlock them or to talk to anyone on that phone. so, it depends on the phone!

I am a landlord, and I have had a landlord in the past who has unlawfully entered. As a landlord, I allow tenants to have these locks. I have no issue, because I don't need to be in there. On the days I am to enter for maintenance, she leaves that lock undone.  \n\nAt some hardware stores you can buy a chain lock that has a key entry. It looks like a chain lock for the outside viewer appearing that you are home, the top of the chain has a small cylinder lock. The landlord would not see the top if you place it high enough.  This forces the landlord to explain why he forced your privacy lock to the police in the event of unlawful entry, yet is flimsy enough to break in a true emergency. Typically found at specialty hardware stores.  \n\nA flip lock is another type that makes it appear that you are home. It looks like a hinge with screw holes in only one side. It can be entered from the outside if you take one credit card and push the plate side of the lock up, and a second one to swing it out upon your own reentry. Most have a small hole in the bottom part of the locking plate. Thread a small ribbon or string through that to pull it closed behind you. They are stiff enough to keep someone out who shouldn't be there unless they make a lot of noise pulling out the screws or busting in the lock. Yet again, are flimsy enough to fall in at a good hit in an emergency situation. I found one at wal-mart.

go to "veiw" " toolbars" and find the unlock then you can drag the items around how you like them then re-lock them.

Many keys are actually similar enough to open the same lock.\nLocks are intended to discourage, not to completely prevent unauthorized persons gaining access to something/somewhere.\n\nJust like burglar alarms, locks are successful mostly because they make the crook go next door because it's easier. They don't really prevent crime, they discourage or redirect it.

Consider an implementation of a mutex lock which\ndoes not allow "recursive" locking.  By that I mean,\nit is a simple implementation which just blocks\nif the lock is taken.\n\nThen consider a single threaded process which \naccesses some resource protected by the lock\n(thus acquiring the lock), and within the critical\nsection, it attempts to acquire the resource again.\nI would call this a single-thread deadlock.\n\nWhile that sounds quite unlikely, imagine that you\nwrote a library which implemented a single "I/O mutex"\nso that only a single thread at a time could be\nperforming I/O.  If your implementation was careless,\na single thread might acquire the lock calling the\nhigh-level function "fwrite()", and then attempt to\nacquire it again when entering the low-level\nfunction "write()" [which was used to implement\n"fwrite()"].

Because obliviously, brute force makes everything work. Don't you know anything?\n\n:P

A synonym for permutation is arrangement, so if the way your data are arranged makes a difference (such as letters in a word, or choosing a president and vice-president), use permutations.\n\nA synonym for combinations is mixture, so if you are just "mixing" the data and it makes no special difference what order they are in (such as people on a committee, or making fruit punch by mixing three fruit juices out of a total of five kinds of juice) then use a combination.\n\nIronically, a "combination lock", such as a padlock where you must turn left to 35, then right to 17, then left to 0, is actually a permutation.  Hope that helps!

The answer is 120 "lock combos" if I've understood your question.\n\nYou can't use a number twice, but different orders are allowed, but a combo must end in 0. So, for example, 2450 and 5240 are valid combo numbers. If that's the case, the answer is 120.\n\nYou must choose 3 distinct numbers in any order from the numbers 2 4 5 6 7 8. You then add a 0 on the end of these 3 to get a  valid 4 digit combo number. The number of ways of doing this is simply 6x5x4 = 120. Note, if digits could be used more than once it would 6x6x6 = 216.\nAs far as using formulas go, you would use the permutation formula: \n\nnPr = n!/(n-r)! In your case n= 6 and r = 3\n\n6P3 = 6x5x4 = 120

It's usually a click lock at the front panel. it might probably have got struck. try to close the door shut and press the eject button. if that doesn't work u might want to put a pin in the eject hole and play around so that it would touch the lock and release it if it struck. it these don't work u can always remove the front panel and see whats up. It's just clicked shut. if carefully removed u can remove it without breaking it and see what struck.

Typically the default lock is either 0000 or the last four digits of the phone number

A cylinder lock,  home depot has one with like five cylinders that even a cia agent couldn't break into. It used to be only like 29.99 and it worked.  (and with friends like I've had if a lock worked at all it really works - just don't get your keys swiped!)

Are you talking about a new padlock (Target carries padlocks) or a piece of the tool box itself?  If it part of the box you may have to take it into a locksmith or to where you got the box from.

right click it to make sure it isn't locked, then drag it back down and lock it.
