Hi Nicky, the only quick way to open the padlock without the code would be to cut through the shackle.
The 4 digit lock has 10,000 combinations. but if you can recall even 1 or 2 digits of your original code, you reduce this down to 1000 or 100 combinations.
It is possibly to ‘feel’ the combinations by applying slight pressure to the chrome shackle and gently rotating each dial until a very slight click is felt and noting the dial number. Repeat this for each dial and you will be able to identify your original number. If you can recall one or two numbers this could open the lock in just a few minutes by following the above steps.
