1. Open the lock.
2. Rotate the shackle 180 degrees so that it is parallel with the body of the lock -- just as though you were about to close it, but with the shackle facing the wrong way.
3. Push the shackle in, as though you were closing lock.
4. Hold it in and set the new combination. (On some models, you will not have to hold the shackle in place.)
5. Release the shackle. (Or, if you did not have to hold it in, pull it up.)
The new combination should now be set. As with all such products, test it before locking it onto an item.

If you have one like mine, all you have to do is turn it 90 degrees to the right, push down, and then change the code while holding it down.
First of all, even though we call them "combination locks" they are not combination locks. In fact, there is no such thing as a "combination lock", that is if you pay homage to the actual, technical meaning of the word "combination". The word combination implies that order is irrelevant, which is not the case on a combination lock. The numbers for the "combination" have a particular order, and that order makes the difference between the lock opening or not. Just because you get the numbers correct doesn't mean the lock will open unless you get them in the right order, too. A combination lock is more appropriately called a permutation lock. Now, you want to know the number of permutations for a combination lock. This is a much more precise question. The next thing we need to know is whether or not repeats are allowed. In combination locks it is generally the case that repeats are allowed. One number does not effect the next number. Not only do the number of possibilities remain constant for each number, but which values they can possess also remains constant. Say for example we have a combination lock with three numbers to be set. Suppose that each of those can be the numbers 0 to 29. In this case, if the sequence 5, 6, 3 is distinct from 6, 3, 5, then we have a permutation lock. Not a combination lock. If the two sequences were the same, if both opened the lock... then its a true combination lock indeed. If the lock can open to 5, 5, 3 then repeats are allowed. This lock has 30 unique values for each number in the sequence: 0-29. And it has 3 numbers in the sequence. If repeats are allowed then there are 303 = 27,000 permutations. If repeats are not allowed then there are 30P3 = 24,360 permutations.
You can unlock the combination lock of the polo luggage if the combination numbers are forgotten in a few ways. One way is just to try a few different combinations until you get the right one.
6 x 7 = 42 (it helps to know the multiplication tables), so the prime factors are 2 x 3 x 7, and the combination is 237
You dont! Whoever said the first answer is stupid i really want to know how and this is the answer i get UUUUUGGGGGGHHHHH
If you do not have the combination, there is no way to open the lock. A master combination would defeat the purpose of having the lock.
With the combination
You have to have a combination. If you have a key lock you don't need a combination, all it is is a lock that says master and a key to turn it and then it opens what you have in it.
There is no "master combination" that can open any lock. There would be no use for the lock if that were the case.
It will come with a slip of paper that has the specific combination to that lock. Each individual lock has it's own combination.
You have a few options. One, you can change out all of the locks with the same type of lock of which a master key can be made for all of them. The other is to change them out with the exact same lock which the same key will unlock each one. If these are padlocks, you can go with a combination lock which you can get changed to the same combination for all of the locks.
A locksmith will be able to provide the combination from the code number stamped on the back of the lock.
don't now and don't care
Some master locks are rekeyable, most are not.
That depends on the specific kind of lock.
NOPE
It depends on the make of the lock. Many time you need to know the combination. Sesame locks require a pin that goes in the shackle hole when the shackle is 180 degrees from open. Master combination locks with a scroll combination require a reset key that can only be used when the current combination is known in order to change. Other padlocks require the lock to be open and the shackle turned 180 degrees and pushed down while setting the combination.
