How do I open the Master Lock 5401D, after I set the reset and closed the button?

If you had set a new combination open it by dialing the new combination. If you have not set a new combination then open it with the release button. Good luck.

Are you asking after you change your number? Just turn your numbers that you set to and push the black button on the left down. It will make the box open.

Slid the window cover down and enter the pass code by positioning the circular numbers

You should be able to just put in your combination and the lock will unlock. Is that not your experience?

only solution that I know, is to find a key that will fit and try to jimmy it open, then replace the lock; or call a lock smith and have them pick it, and replace it after you have had it open.

You have to re-enter the code. In fact, you can't reinsert the box in its receptacle without re-entering the code. (Big Mack's answer appears to apply to a different model -- there is no knob to turn.)

I had a hard time with that as well. There is an answer. I believe that I found it on the instructions. I don't recall, but I think it was simply to either have the code showing when you try to close it OR the opposite, spin the code away then it will close.. Not much help, but one of these works. I had a difficult time with both of my locks . I had to throw them away because the dials would not spin. In fact, I could not get one of them off a door knob even when taking the handle off. It had to be cut off. It made me wonder if these were knock-offs or the real deal. I'd like to try a genuine Master lock from the company to see if there is the same issue, but I don't dare to waste the money or the time on one just for the test. The door closing is simple. The dials are impossible if they get stuck. Even my genius, mr. fixit brother tinkerer could not get one to spin.

Here is the link to the directions below. It shows how to reprogram the lock. However, there is a warning that you must know the specific original factory code for your lock as it will reset to that code. This was located on the lock when new. It is not shown in the directions and according to the directions cannot be recovered by customer service. It warns not to reset unless you know that factory code. I hope this helps, although may not it you don't know the factory code for your lock. http://consumer.schlage.com/project%20documents/23780042%20fe%20and%20be-series%20user%20guide-a_web.pdf

I believe that the initial combination is all zero's (000). The combination can only be set with the "key door" unlocked. You then have to turn the last wheel to the left which does not have numbers so that the word "reset" is in line with the combination notch. At this point with the key door closed you should be able to reset the combination and then open the key door. If you do not remember what the combination was when you received the lock you may have to contact Kidde and return the lock to them so they can reset the combination for you.

If you are able to access the back side of the lock and are mechanicly inclined you can remove the screws. Play with the buttons. I tried to reset my combo. Turned out i didnt push one of the buttons hard enough while doing so.

Press and hold the reset button on the back of it. That's what I did when I checked it out by taking my batteries out.

The process was in the directions. Mine said to align the dials to "tree" which would open the lock. Resetting to a word you want to use is a little complicated. If you need those directions, let me know and I'll see if I can help you.

If your new master pin does not work, the chances is very high you have erroneously entered them (and the lock does not prompt you to re-enter for confirmation - so you don't know what was the wrongly entered new pin). Follow manual to do a factory reset and instead of your wrongly entered pin, use this pin instead: ""1470852369". After factory reset, the master pin defaults back to "1234"

The way I did it was to remove the door panel the master lock control has two wires open and close and the neg. wire goes to grd.

I would try to find something to fit in the button to open it back up. From what I remember on mine there is a tiny button to push in there.

We took the batteries out, put cover back on and tried pushing the button but it will not open and only says "goodbye" Help!!

There's a small reset button on the back that u can press with a paper clip or pin. Or I also took the battery out for a minute and then put it back in. That requires a screw driver. Good luck because mine kept freezing n resetting itself all the time so I ended up just getting a for bit

See if by chance it is upside down, ensure that the door is FULLY closed and locked and, finally, try a master reset as a last resort.

No. You place the key back, close the lid and twist the knob to relock. This will reset the code for the next access.
