5 Digit Combination/Permutation??

Greetings:

My wife recently bought a used car with a five digit keyless entry code, which unfortunately has been lost. The dealership wanted to charge $80 to run a computer scan for it, and we were wondering if it was reasonable to set up an excel spreadsheet to test all the possible combinations/permutations.

We know it will be a five digit code, using buttons labelled (1/2) (3/4) (5/6) (7/8) (9/0). Numbers can be repeated, but the code is no greater nor less than 5 digits. Whether the number is one or two, for example, you would still press the same button once. Thoughts on how to set this up?

Thanks in advance.

Hi

This pretty blunt code will list all 3125 button combination options.

im confused!
if the numbers can be from 00000 to 99999 there are 100000 combinations
if however each button can be pushed or not pushed there are 32 combinations (binary 00000 to 11111)

thats cheating! what a stupid lock
