There are only 3,125 possbile combinations. 10 numbers and a 5-digit pin would normally be 100,000 possible combinations, however they put 2 numbers per button, basically making numbers 1-5. So, A way to calculate this is by N**x
where N is the number of digits possible (here, 5 different digits are
possible) 1 through 5
and x is the number of places available (here we have 5 places available
for a 5 digit number)
note the formula is N raised to the x power
meaning, 5**5
or 5 X 5 X 5 X 5 = 3,125 combinations
My point? Get crackin!!! Figure 5 seconds per combo you'd figure it out well under 4.5 hours!

Dzervit, you forgot to add in the time for the delay if you enter the wrong code more than 3 times in a row.
