Turn
your suitcase (Samsonite F'LITE comfort) upside down. At this position
all your numbers look upside down. Now with the help of a torch light
you should see a small gap above the rotating thing (the one with which
you change your number) Take the first rotating thing and rotate from 0
to 9, at some particular number you can see a small hole inside the
small gap which I have mentioned before. Do the same for the next 2
rotating thing. When you are done you can see the small hole(a tiny spring like material is seen in the hole) in all the three small gaps. Now you can open the number lock. :-) Have fun
A reply from their customer service :-
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.

I don't know what you mean by open but locked, however, these locks can be changed to a new combination by sliding a stud inside the case (under the wheels) and holding it while setting new numbers on the wheels. I don't think this works unless you start with the wheels in the position of the old combination, though.
