Thanks! And no, I am not a bike thief...though maybe I'll become one, hehehehehahahaha!
1. Use one of the spare keys that came with the lock
2. Get a replacemet key from the manufacturer as you did write down the key code, right?
3. Ride over to the police, they have equipment to do this and will gladly help you once they verify it is your bike, legally purchased.
ps - you may very well be legit in this request and any of the above solutions will work, but sharing even well known methods on a public forum does a disservice to everyone who locks up their bike. Experinced thieft already know how, but some punk as kid may learn and try from any good suggestions posted here.
