• Open your Sentry safe by typing the five-digit factory code (found in your owner's manual) on the keypad. It's always a good idea to change your combination while the safe is open, so that you don't inadvertently lock yourself out.
• Delete any existing codes by pressing the "P" key and entering the factory code, followed by "00000." On older safes, press the "PROG" key and entering your factory code twice to delete old codes.
• Press the "PROG" or "P" key again on your Sentry safe's keypad.
• Enter your safe's five-digit factory code.
• Enter a five-digit code of your choosing within 5 seconds. This is your user code. While the factory code cannot be changed, your user code can be changed as often as you like, and that should be your primary code to open the safe. Only you should know your safe's factory code.
• Retype the user code to verify it is working, and then close the safe.

Help with Forgotten or Lost Lock Combinations from Master Lock Master... The locksmiths will not give combination without you visiting a dealer. Maybe you can at first try a few different combinations to see if you can do it yourself but don't get frustrated and take the lock to a dealer to save time and energy.

Some safes come with a key to open it with when this happens.key hole is cancelled under or near the keypad...not sure if yours is one of them.or there maybe a slot to plug in a battery pack .good luck..hope I have helped.

Sounds like the tumblers are out of wack ..not sure if moving them 1 number either way will get it open..give it a go and see what happens.

I don't think that would be the combination.have you tried it?..if that doesn't work you may have to get a lock smith to open it for you....sorry I couldn't help you .frank.

Yes you can...remove the battery for 2-3mins..that should clear the last code..replace the battery and enter a new code.
