I don't know what key is on the AS400, if it is a round key, just call a
locksmith, if it is a regular straight key, it may be like the ones on
the PS/2's I have, which are single tumblers, and can be picked with a
paperclip in about 10 seconds (take a small paper clip, straighten it,
and then bend into a U... insert points first into the lock, and jiggle
while turning it, you should be able to hit the right spot in a few
soconds). The more tumblers, the harder it is to pick, but generally,
anything 3 and under can be done with a paper clip, over that, you might
want to call a locksmith or get a lock pick kit.
