# 0753. Cracking the Safe

<https://leetcode.com/problems/cracking-the-safe>

## Description

There is a safe protected by a password. The password is a sequence of `n` digits where each digit can be in the range `[0, k - 1]`.

The safe has a peculiar way of checking the password. When you enter in a sequence, it checks the **most recent** `n` **digits** that were entered each time you type a digit.

* For example, the correct password is `"345"` and you enter in `"012345"`:
  * After typing `0`, the most recent `3` digits is `"0"`, which is incorrect.
  * After typing `1`, the most recent `3` digits is `"01"`, which is incorrect.
  * After typing `2`, the most recent `3` digits is `"012"`, which is incorrect.
  * After typing `3`, the most recent `3` digits is `"123"`, which is incorrect.
  * After typing `4`, the most recent `3` digits is `"234"`, which is incorrect.
  * After typing `5`, the most recent `3` digits is `"345"`, which is correct and the safe unlocks.

Return *any string of **minimum length** that will unlock the safe **at some point** of entering it*.

**Example 1:**

```
**Input:** n = 1, k = 2
**Output:** "10"
**Explanation:** The password is a single digit, so enter each digit. "01" would also unlock the safe.
```

**Example 2:**

```
**Input:** n = 2, k = 2
**Output:** "01100"
**Explanation:** For each possible password:
- "00" is typed in starting from the 4th digit.
- "01" is typed in starting from the 1st digit.
- "10" is typed in starting from the 3rd digit.
- "11" is typed in starting from the 2nd digit.
Thus "01100" will unlock the safe. "01100", "10011", and "11001" would also unlock the safe.
```

**Constraints:**

* `1 <= n <= 4`
* `1 <= k <= 10`
* `1 <= kn <= 4096`
