A padlock comprises a lock body, a shackle, a block member, an elastic member, a combination locking device and a key locking device. The shackle is movable relative to the lock body between a locked position and an unlocked position, and the shackle has a first end movably installed in the lock body and a second end. The block member is movably connected to the lock body and comprises a button provided for retaining the second end of the shackle in the locked position, a supporter protruding from the button, and a base protruding from the supporter. The elastic member is installed around the button and has one end against the lock body and the other end against the supporter. The combination locking device is installed within the lock body for controlling movements of the shackle. The first end of the shackle is movable to the unlocked position when the combination locking device is unlocked. The key locking device is installed within the lock body and connected to the base of the block member for controlling movements of the shackle. The block member is movable axially, when the key locking device is operated by a key.
