It's a nice practical joke task to rearrange those stickers, I'm quite sure there are plenty of users who can't open the lock after that. Personally I wouldn't ever record password, I would record the combination. Because there is that risk. I have seen way too many people to fail with simple tasks like this. Just like changing log-in domain or putting caps lock or numlock on (laptop). So much lulz and waster effort due users who are unable to grasp what's happening. Btw. When I was kid, there were bicycle locks using the same idea.

Yes, those 80s bicycle locks were the first thing I thought of when reading this. Really the main difference is including stickers to allow spelling a password.

That was my first thought: rearrangeable stickers. It's so silly. There's a reason the oh-so-ugly dial had notches engraved on the surface. The thief-accessible reset CAN'T be good, even if they think it's impenetrable.
