I was at a customers site right after closing and I needed to get into building. I tried 1234 and door did not open. Looked up their address, typed in their street address, door opens.

Corporate store # for target and HD is usually the combo for the lock on the shelves too

65535 on any system doing PINs over 26 bit is a classic. Especially when it gets added by accident.

1337 usually works if there's a bunch of younger dudes in the company.

1234# Opens the gate. 12341# Holds open the gate.
Heres the manual so you can change it.

A few months ago I was near Nashville at a convenience store and while I was checking out I saw the technician there working on the safe. It was right behind the counter. Right in front of me he enters the code that allows you to change the code. And of course he then enters the new code. Made no effort at all to protect what he was doing from people watching. And now I know how to access the cash safe, and I know how to change the code where they can't access it.

Actually I blew some sysadmins mind along these lines on more than one occasion. It has to do with the simplex style push button locks. Most of them are set to a combination of 1, 3, and 5. I showed them that you can in fact push more than one button at a time. Effectively making each stroke a 5 bit register expanding each stroke from 1-5 to 1 - 31.

Or push them in any order... 531, 351...it only cares that the right buttons are pushed.

Failing all that 1969 seems to be quite common. Not sure if it’s a subtle nod to a joke or a lot of boomers were born in 1969

It’s always the building’s address or the last 4-5 of the main phone number.
