Digital camera reviews of Targus PA400U DEFCON 1 Ultra Notebook Computer Security System

Digital camera Review: Unfortunately, all these bad reviews are true...
Summary: 2 Stars

I had the same problem - lock "magically" reset itself and the combination I had been using for 1 year no longer worked. Fortunately, I was able to cut it off in 3 minutes with a hacksaw. Unfortunately, I am out $10 for the hacksaw and $30 for the lock. Here are the instructions for cutting the lock off that Targus doesn't post on the website, but will email to you:

Obtain a hacksaw from a hardware store or similar location. Make sure that it has a high-speed metal cutting blade. After stabilizing the tail of the DEFCON CL in a vise, saw through the head. Do not try to saw the teeth of the DEFCON CL, it is much easier to begin sawing at the gap next to the cable attachment ring. After sawing all the way through, you will be able to take apart DEFCON CL and remove it from the notebook. This should take an average of 10 minutes.
