How to unlock the A Vault-like Mind achievement in RESIDENT EVIL 2 - Definitive Guide

The first one that you can find that is able to be found early in the game in the RCPD. When you go through the West Wing after getting the Combat Knife, you can go up a set of stairs above the West Office, the same set of stairs that you need to go up in order to obtain the Spade Key. On 2F when climbing the stairs, the only room that you can enter is the right-most side of the Shower Room. As soon as you enter, look right, there will be a portable safe sitting on some towels. While I am unsure if this randomizes per playthrough, here's how I solved it. I mapped out a grid to get a "number" combination.
The "dial":
---4-6---
--5---8--
--2---7--
---1-3---
The buttons:
1-2
3-4
5-6
7-8

Portable Safes need to be examined once picked up, and after you hit the space key you'll get the chance to attempt unlocking it. Each button on the safe needs to be hit so that the lights above activate in an anti clockwise order. Its hard to explain but really easy once you see what I'm talking about. It is essentially trial and error until you manage to open the safe.

EDIT - It seems there is no consistency for the solutions, so there seems to be no way to look up a solution online, you'll have to figure it out for yourself.

The order that the buttons need to be pressed in seem to be completely random, I wrote down the order for both Portable Safes in the game, and they were completely different on the next playthrough.

There are 2 portable safes in the game and to open them you need to select the correct button sequence. This is different for every playthrough, although it is not entirely complicated. You need to light the circle of lights up in order by pressing the 8 buttons in the correct order. An easy way to do this is to look at the pad and number the buttons either in your head or write it down, 1 through 8. Then when you press a button, make a note of which light it illuminates on the circle at the top. Once you know which button corresponds to which light, press them in the correct order to unlock it.

Note both of the portable safe locations are shown in the video in the description for "Lore Explorer" as they are also needed to unlock "Master of Unlocking".

In your inventory, click "Examine". Then, each time the button is pressed correctly, a green light lights up. Repeat the sequence of clicks until the entire circle of lights turns green.
