You’re a good man, I locked myself out and was worried I’d have to buy another or find some convoluted process but you’ve saved me tons of time and stress
I did exactly what you demonstrated on your video for a few minutes and no luck. Tonight I came home and my daughter asked me if I was able to unlock her diary. I told her I’d give it one more try and within 30 seconds it popped open just like you described. Just had to put a little bit more time on it. Thank you so much!
6yrs on from you making this and you just saved us on Christmas Day!!! My son set the lock but his chosen numbers but they weren’t accurately lined up so it wouldn’t open on his chosen numbers. All sorted thanks to your video - thank you 🙏
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!! Both my sister and I locked ourselves out of our journals and I randomly stumbled over this. I opened both of our journals and we could not be happier!
it didn't work with mine, at some point when I started looking at the numbers I noticed they would get harder to slide every time I reached the combo 000 which was the first pre-set password (but now doesn't work anymore of course), maybe that has something to do with the diaries that this won't work for
I'm one of the ones who had it locked in the open position. In one of the comments you said to "press the latch into the lock and continue to move the numbers while try to open the latch". It's crazy how easy that was. My 7-yr-old daughter was so excited to get this diary and then so disappointed that she couldn't lock it. Now I'm a hero!
Thank you so much for this video!! My daughter just got her journal today and already locked herself out of it 🤦🏼♀️ not even Amazon customer service could help!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Daughter literally had it for 10 minutes and locked herself out. For those that said it didn’t pop when I felt the last one go through I pushed the button back toward the spine and it opened. Not all heroes wear capes! Thanks again!!
So despite the comments, I thought this was BS because it wasn’t working, but I didn’t find anything else so I kept trying until finally I felt it push in. Looked at the numbers, it was one away from what my daughter said she set it to (4 of us tried and it didn’t work), set the final number so it was exactly what she said it was, it didn’t pop open but when I pushed the latch the other way, it opened like normal. The lock must have been getting caught and freed up from this process. Thanks for the video years later!
THANK YOU SOO MUCH! because of you my diary is unlocked! 🔓 i tried ot for atleast 10 times and then tried this at midnight, because i was sad and couldnt sleep and it worked! thank you again!
Just keep rolling then push to the side to unlock it and the look at the number it landed on. Because I just got mine to open just now. Thank the lord for you man this was just bought and couldn’t open it
Thank you so much!!! This worked! My daughter was so sad because she couldn't get in and was at it for a couple days. I watched your video and I got it! Thank you again!
Yay!! My thumb turned a graphite color spinning it for 10 minutes. It just gave a bit, as the correct #s lined up. THEN, u push the button back towards the spine.
YOU SIR ARE A GENIUS!!!!! Just saved my book because I was on level “Gerber and Destroy" just a second ago lol RU-vid University strikes again!!!! 🥰🥰🥰💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽🤞🏽
Thank you so much!!! That really worked… I have been trying to open my diary for so long. I even tried all the numbers from 000 - 999! But this only worked for me.
I did it. But not using the method in this video. But of course thus video really help. For the first second digit, it became stuck as I scroll it using this video method. As I scroll the number, I found that there's a line or a hole (for the lock to go through) at each of the number. Then, I scroll to find those line for the last number. Thank you very much for the tips. There is only one video in youtube for this tip.
Phew!!! You saved me from ordering another set of diaries for my kids!! Thanks soo much. And for those who say they tried but it didn’t work, keep trying because it worked for me on my second attempt
You need to simultaneously push the latch open while turning numbers. It should be uncomfortable on your thumb (pushing the latch towards open). Good luck
