Did everything wrong, took the dial off the spindle, turned the wheels by hand, & spilled the bolt, springs & detents all over the carpet. Threw the lock back together until I got home. Over a cup of coffee I examined the lock, figured out it was a three # combination that opened on the last rh turn. Moved the safe into a spare laundry room, re-hung the door, & re-installed the lock, after I guessed where the dial should be (looked at the splines). Opened the bolt, turned the wheels with the backplate off (another no-no) by using the change combination key. Bound the dial a couple of times, but centered things with the change key, and it accepted a new combination. Took between 10-12 unlocking with the new combo before I had the guts to close the door & throw the bolt. Viola! Another working safe. No, OSHA would not have approved how I removed this safe from the house. Nor how I moved it into mine, sans door, bare footed.
