    Hello all,

    I'm hoping there is a lock expert that can help me out. We have a laptop in our office that is currently stuck in place due to a former employee taking their Kensington key with them. Now I happen to have a bug in me that just has to solve problems. So, knowing a bit about lock picking I went out to Google and found what I needed to know about opening a Kensington lock with a piece of thick paper, a business card in this case.

    I demoed it to one of the supervisors to show them how it could be done and so they didn't think me sneaky. It worked great.

    The problem is, now we can't re-lock the lock. We have the key for this one if it helps. Google was no help here.

    Every time I press the button, it just pops back up.

    HELP!
