Lost my Kensington lock key

Crap! I've lost my only Kensington key and now I am stuck with my laptop attached to the desk. I've seen some videos about opening it with... toilet paper, but it didn't work for me.


Of course I can cut the link itself but I don't additional metal stuff attached forever to my notebook. Any ideas? Please help!

Edit:

I've decided to post my solution from here, so it's easier to see what I have done to unlock this thing.

    Guy in 2600 T-Shirt couldn't be wrong :P

    I am trying hard, but it's not so simple. The cardboard is dislayering. I think that it's possible since the trick is to put something, press the pins and turn the lock - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tubular_pin_tumbler_lock .

    Get a dremel tool, or something and cut your way through the cable.

    That's pretty crappy. The only way to really get it off is to cut it I think, but that would look really bad, huh?
