Recover the combination to a Master padlock
If you have an old Master combination padlock and you've lost the combination, don't throw it away. If you have a bit of time, you can fairly easily recover the combination:
I have had to throw out several locks because I have lost the combination. I recently found a lock and I really hate to throw these things out. . . . I have read many places online that this is completely impossible, but it's not. It takes a little math, a lot of brute forcing, and some thinking.
I used his technique on an old lock for which I had lost the combination. Sure enough, I recovered the combination. It only took about twenty minutes.
