One way - Look through the gap between the number wheel and the frame of the briefcase.
Do one full rotation of the number wheel. While rotating, look for a dip line through the axial line of the number wheel. Keep the dial so that that line exactly faces you.
Now to find the correct number, add 5 to the number shown in front of the number wheel.
If the result crosses 9, you should subtract 5 from the number shown in front.
It should be done for each of the number wheels.
It should be done in a min :)
This results in the least number of combinations on each of the three wheels i.e 3* 10 = Only 30 combinations :)
Another Way- especially if you can't see the dip in the wheel- Set the combo to 0x0, (the middle number doesn't matter right now) and while holding the open lever as if to open the lock, spin the middle dial (that's the "x" in the notation I'm using)... If your combo is hit, the lock will spring open. If not, try 0x1, then 0x2, thru to 0x9, then 1x0,1x1,...1x9, then with 2, 3, etc. This allows only 100 options instead of 1000, and I just opened mine in about 4 minutes... (combo was 391, so even if it had been 999, it would have only taken about 12 minutes)
Additional Info: I cracked my (late) father's Samsonite case by holding the case upright under a bright light: looking down the cracks whilst turning the dials I could see a gap about 3 digits wide. This area was dark as opposed to the brass coloured (split) ring which reflects the light.
I find it helps to understand how the lock works. The C-shaped ring is rotated by the digit wheel. Each wheel prevents a spring-loaded bar from moving closer to the lock. Where there is a gap, no pressure is exerted on the bar. Thus all wheels have to line up with the gap away from the lock. When this occurs, the bar moves closer to the lock, and the hooks on the lid are released. The two side handles play no part in the lock mechanism, therefore can be kept open all the time. As soon as the correct combination is reached, the lid flips open without any mechanism.

How to Set Your Combination Lock On Your Briefcase?
Typically, briefcases come with random numbers as combination locks. These random numbers can be remembered easily but can also be guessed easily by thieves, as many codes are standard between manufacturers. However, for you to be able to secure your briefcase, you need to choose a special combination that would be difficult to guess. You can do this by resetting the default combination to a new combination code of your choice. If you don’t know how to do this, here is a simple guide on how to set your combination lock on your briefcase. • Open your briefcase. You need to open your briefcase using the default combination lock. You can do this by turning the numbers and pushing the button to open the case. • Look for the reset mechanism of the lock. Usually, briefcases have their reset mechanism as a single button or pin. There are some who have two buttons in them. If your briefcase has the single button, you can just push it and hold it there. • Enter a random combination. You need to test the lock before you input your desired combination. Choose a random combination that is easy to remember. • Close your briefcase and test it. Turn the lock in another value to see if it will open. This should not open the briefcase, because you have stored a different combination. After checking it, turn the numbers with your combination and it should open right after you pushed the button. • Change the lock to your desired combination. You can now change the lock of your briefcase to your desired combination that is easy to remember, but hard to guess. If you want, you can use your birthday or your address. Make sure that you take note of your combination code for reference in case you forget it.
