How to Reset Samsonite 3 Digit Built in Combination Lock

Try the steps above.

Web link above states that "If you still can't open the lock, contact Samsonite Customer Service at 800-765-2247"

You need to try 000 and if that does not work look on youtube for how to open that lock.

Pick your number. Look at the inside of the lock. There should be a little "slider". Slide that - it sets your number and then your lock should function normally.

1. Call Samsonite Customer Service at 1-800-262-8282. Representatives are available Monday through Friday from 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m EST.
2. Press "1" and then "6" on your telephone keypad to speak with a representative to order a replacement key or padlock.
3. Pay the required fee. Samsonite will then send out the replacement key.

Keys are surely available; check the Samsonite website. Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on your perspective, most of those types of locks are primitive and can often be opened with a number of other keys of stamped steel.
If you just want it open, I would go to the nearest locksmith and give him $5 to pick it. You might also get a replacement key from the same place.

thanx to whomever posted it.

Email from Samsonite in response to my plea for help:
Dear Sir/Madam:
The following are the lock picking instructions you requested from Samsonite Consumer Relations.
1. Position the luggage so that the numbers on the wheel are
right-side-up as they face you and set all three wheels to “0′.
2. Starting with the wheel on the left, to the right of the wheel,
look into the narrow space between the right side of the wheel and
the body of the lock. Look down into the shaft. (If you have a
safety pin, straight pin, or thin nail file, place that in the
narrow space.)
3. While looking down into the shaft, rotate the wheel slowly. You
are looking for an indentation (a square notch). When you find
the indentation, stop and write the number down. (If you are using
a tool, the tool will fall into the indentation.)
4. Follow the process for the remaining two wheels.
5. Try to open the piece of luggage.
6. If the luggage still will not open, please try the following:
a) If the number on the wheel is over 5, subtract 5 from the
number showing. For example, if the number showing is 8 turn
the wheel to 3 because 8-5=3.
b) If the number is under 5, add 5 to the number showing. For
example if the number showing is 2 turn the wheel to 7
because 2+5=7. The numbers showing on the wheels will be
your combination.
If you still have a problem with the combination lock, contact the nearest authorized repair center to your zip code for repair assistance. Our warranty and repair information can be viewed at http://www.samsonite.com under the heading “Customer Service Repair Centers” for your reference.
We appreciate your loyalty and will continue to design products that are reliable business or travel companions.

Contact Samsonite and ask if there is a default code. If not, and the kid can not open it, you have a lot of combinations to try > SORRY!
Did you try to pick/pop the latch with a bobby pin or paper clip?
