Atarix

Atarix is a small but handy computer, purchased for 150,000 Z, and able to unlock secured cargo containers. Valuable goods are often hidden in well locked boxes. This device can open it without the risk of damaging the content.

An efficient tactic for cracking the code easily is to first enter 0123, check if any of the numbers are correct, then enter 4567 to check if any of those are correct. After that, one has enough information to arrange the numbers in the right order, and there is a 50% chance of getting 8 or 9 right if they are in the code, anyway.
