lost combination on a samsonite briefcase?
my brother has a very old black samsonite briefcase. he lost the combination. how can he open the briefcase.

By trying all posibilities.
If the lock could be set, first try the logical combinations, like 123, 000, and dates that have a meaning for the person who set the lock.
If you can not work it out that way, start with 0001, 0002, 0003, 0004, and so on.
If the lock only has 3 digits you do need to try 1000 combinations, if it has 4 10000 and so on.
If there are too many options, with 6 numbers in a lock it will take forever, you can try to find people in your area that like to do those things, mostly the people who collect locks will be able to help you to find them.
Or google Samsonite, lost, combination, open and things like that. If there is a shortcut it is likely on Internet already.

A friend who is a lock collector, and I have opened several locks where the combination was lost, but non with more than 3 digits per lock.
