A teen was freed after spending several hours in a vault of an abandoned Florida bank, officials said.
Hollywood firefighters were able to track down a secret code to the vault Wednesday afternoon, rather than having to dismantle a massive door, South Florida news outlets reported.
Officials said two teenagers were exploring the vacant Bank of America building on State Road 7 and Washington Street when the 17-year-old boy got stuck in the vault. 
The trapped boy's friend called 911, officials said.
The boy had been trapped in the 14-foot by 14-foot vault with two-foot-thick concrete walls for about two hours, officials said. 
No charges were reported.
