iPhone App To Crack Combination Locks
Earlier this month we talked about how easy it was to hack a Master Lock (you know, one of those locks we all got in high school) by using some basic math. Well, someone has decided to write an iPhone app that will help you in your endeavor to remember the combination to your old gym or high school lock.
LockGenie is an app that helps you store and recover forgotten or lost combination lock passwords. It doesn’t actually hack the lock for you, but does all of the math for you and presents you with 100 possible combinations that will work on your lock. Now I know that 100 combinations sounds like a lot, but it’s far better than the millions of possible passwords a standard Master Lock has.
You can pick it up in the iTunes app store for $1.99. I know that sounds steep for a single purpose app, but if you have one or two combo locks laying around and you can’t remember their passwords it’s cheaper than replacing them.

This App is really cool, I had an old lock and was able to figure out the combination just about ten minutes after downloading the app. It says it will give you 100 combinations to try, but I didn't even need ten tries.
My son forgot his combination and we were able to figure it out after he got this program.
I was able to empty a junk drawer full of old locks.
I am so happy I got this. I was about to go buy a new lock for my storage unit until I found this application, definitely worth it!!!
I love this app! I am telling you – my daughters had a couple of locks hanging around with no combo and we were able to open them with the help of this app! Now I don't feel guilty having these locks hanging around. Great app.
