How to open Kensington lock without breaking laptop?

Question

Technical support

Good day!
The situation is as follows, there is one user who hooked up his HP laptop with the same proprietary HP Kensington combination lock to the table. We freed the laptop from the table, but no one knows how to remove the lock itself, because the user has safely forgotten the password from the lock. The essence of the question: Has anyone encountered such a situation, and how did you get out of it? Brute force is not suitable, because no one has a special desire to check 10,000 combinations, and you yourself understand that this is not an IT method.
