How do you open child proof (adult proof) DVD packs?

Question

I have a DVD package that has a lock on it how do I open this and when did this come into play?

Answer 1

Sounds like the store you bought it from forgot to remove the security (so you don't steal it) thingy... take it back to them with your receipt and get them to take it off

Answer 2

Was it stolen or purchased? If it was purchased, the cashier should have removed the lock with a tool they have behind the counter. Take it back with the receipt, they will be more than happy to remove the lock. Bamabelle

Answer 3

Lol with a chain saw.

Answer 4

If it has a picture of a red lock on it, then it should have been opened by the store's 'special equipment'.  There is a metal plate (or something) inside that can ruin the disc if you try and force it.  The person who served you didn't do their job.  (I fell for this one)

I'm not aware of any other types of locks.

Answer 5

Give it to a child, he'll figure it out.
