You need a key, that the point of needing a key in the lock

The only way to remove it without a key is to drill down the centre (center

) and then remove the remnants of the tumblers.

Or a slide hammer with a hardened screw in the end

But either of these methods will destroy the barrel

if you aint got the key
easiest way would be to break it off
