Yeah, I was expecting it to be something like "0000, no. 0001, no. 0002, no... Holy crap, I got it!"

I did this with a suitcase lock once, luckily only 3 digits. The code was 587. I remembered the code at around 540.

Yeah, four digits probably wouldn't take 10 years. Eight digits, I could see depending on how fast you're allowed to try again. I was just being lazy about typing.

It would if the lockout time got longer with every failed attempt
