Start with combination 000, try the lock, then click up to 001, try the lock, then 002, try the lock, etc, etc. Keep on doing that until you've reached the proper combination. Even if the combo is 999, it should only take you about 6 or 7 minutes to work through all possible settings.

hey mate, i tried this... and you know wht... i was not able to open unlock it !! the issue was my code was 981 and by the time i reacehd there from 000 it was somthing that i didnt do correct and i missed it... coz, the numbers need to be in very exact position before you press the button(s)... doing it for all 1000 combinations is not foolproof..
bt, then how did i unlock it ! the engineer in me helped me !!
for my case it was the numberlock that engaged the zipper (lever of the zip that we pull) ::::: 0===O kind of shape... one end is hooked in the zip and we use the hole in the other end to engage in the lock... so we will call these two ends as zipend and lockend !
first thing, i used pliers to get the zipend disengaged from the zip, so that though the lock is not unlocked, and the zippers are locked in the lock from the lockend, i am able to open the bag... u need not damage the bag, lock or zip.... this is unlock process!!
then, check the lock assembly.. it should have one side inside the bag and other side outside the bag screwed together thru a couple of holes in the bag... unscrew it to get the lock off the bag...
all locks will be different from each other.. but they will have some opening or marking to hint the unlock setting.... and this setting is placed so that it will be visible only when u take the lock off the bag... check thru the openings/marks by changing the numbers and you should find some clue to know the unlock settings..
in my case, there were three holes... they were placed over on the circumference of the dials of the numbers... on a particular position of the dial/number it had a notch.. so that was it.. i set up all the three dials so that the notch was exactly under the holes... as soon as i did it for the third one (my lock was a combination of 3 numbers), a lever got engaged in the three notchs... and it was unlocked !!
i had to just see the dial to know the unlock code...
hope this helps....

Samsonite luggage locks are similar to cheap locks on a gas cap and can be opened with a little time and patience. The only thing you will need for this project is a drill and a 1/8 inch drill bit. Place drill bit inside lock hole and apply plenty of pressure to cut the metal. Once you have reached the core of the lock hole it will disengage the locking mechanism.
