A five-digit pass code 2015-04-25
From Mary:

Question from Mary:

More on your published question:

I have the same type of lock, but set up a 5-digit pass code. Is that more or fewer possibilities than a 4-digit code. How many digits would make the lock most secure? I don't believe Werner specified this, but each number can only be used once. Thanks, Mary

A 4 digit code 2013-03-26
From chris:
I saw a previous question about a 4 digit code type thing and I was wondering if you could email me that same type of thing. I changed the pin number on my phone's lock screen and I tried hard to remember it, then I had to go help my mom with something and I automatically forgot it and there is no way for me to get back on my phone. I need all of the possible 4 digit number combinations without the numbers 0, 1, or 2. It cannot be repeating, ascending, or descending.
I know you may not want to do all of them, but I really need it.

A punch-code lock box 2010-11-29
From Doug:
I am a real estate agent that uses punch-code lock boxes on houses to store the keys. I need to crack the code on one of our boxes, so I need a list of the possible combinations.
Rules:
4 digit code
Numbers 0-9
Each number can only be used once
Order of the numbers does not matter.

With advice from this site, I have calculated that there should be 210 possibilities. 10x9x8x7 (5040) gives me the total number possibilities and 4x3x2x1 (24) gives me the total number of ways to arrange those numbers. So if I divide the possibilities by the arrangement, I get 210. (5040 / 24 = 210) GREAT!!!

Now, how do I develop a list of those 210 combinations?

Thanks for your help.

Hi I need to break a code on my pedometer. I have only 3 digits 1 2 and 3 but need to fill a 5 digit code. I have tried to find answers but they seem to relate to if the digits are only used once.
