Might help you get it open by brute forcing.
Push button down, rotate wheels around. find gates, most likely 1 real and 11 false.
you can usually find the last number of the combo, it will be the largest of the gates you feel.
The false gates are like 2 letters wide while the true gate will be around 3 to 3.5.
So now you have the last letter in the combo leaving you to brute force wheels 1 and 2.
