Can you teach me how to pick a padlock?

Sure. It's pretty simple actually. There are three main kinds of padlocks: a single-lock, double-lock, and combination padlock. 

1. Single-lock padlocks have one combination, or “lock code,” which must be entered correctly for the lock to open.

2. Double-lock padlocks require both a combination and a key to open.

3. Combination padlocks require turning a dial in order to open them.

Picking a single-lock padlock requires two things: the correct combination and a specially designed padlock pick. You have to insert the padlock pick into the keyhole and turn it slightly while pressing down on it with your fingernail. Then turn the combination dial until it aligns with the notch on the pick. Turn the dial again, and the padlock should open. 

Picking a double-lock padlock is a little different. To start, turn the key about a quarter of a turn to the left. Then grab the shackle with your thumb and two fingers, position it above the keyhole, and move it towards the keyhole to open it. With a few up-down and side-to-side pressure adjustments, you should be able to pop the padlock open. 

Combination padlocks require a different approach to unlocking them. You need to determine the internal pins and springs of the lock and match them with special tools that can move them in order to unlock it. If you’re successful, you can usually get the lock to pop open.

These are the basics of picking padlocks. Make sure to practice a lot before trying to pick a real lock. With a bit of patience, you’ll be an expert padlock picker in no time!
