What is the probability of randomly guessing on one try that the code which opens the lock is 007

3 digits --> 1000 codes
The chance of any one of them being the one that works is 1/1000.

You can "randomly" guess 007 and the probability of guessing that is 1.
That's not the same as having it open the lock.
