Forgot code to open hardline electronic safe

That is a picture of the Youniverse Electronic Lock N Safe.

Power up the safe (3 x AA battery);
Remove the batteries, then press any key on the keypad;
Replace the batteries & the safe makes a creaking sound;
Factory default open code of 0000 has now been set;
Enter 0000 on the keypad then turn knob counter-clockwise & pull door open.

You'll most likely need help from a locksmith. Basically, the lock can be picked, to get the safe open. There might also be a factory pre-set code.

Most of the time if you contact the manufacture on these types of safes they can help you through a reset or they can send out a key in the mail to you. I had a problem like this with another brand and they were able to send out a replacement. Good luck.

You will probably have to call a locksmith who specializes in digital safes, or you can contact hardline and give them the serial no. of the save and proof of purchase to get the code or key. You will probably need proof of purchase for the locksmith to.

does she have the user override key? I found this...

User override key to open safe.
Then:
a. Inside the open door you would find hidden a red button press this button, the yellow light will be on, input the user code in 30 seconds try 1,5,9 then press A or B to finish

b. If the yellow light keeps flashing with beeps the code is wrong( revere to user manual)

c. To change code repeat step a.

Test your new code before closing safe.


..might help ya out..but i'm no guru w/ safes by any means!

Ask your wife or your girl freind.
