In the event of you forgetting the combination to your suitcase lock, the best thing you can do to try and resolve the situation is to visit a local locksmith. Bring the suitcase with you and see if they can help you get it open and hopefully help you reset the password.
Failing that, there aren't really any other practical options other than to break the lock unless you want to sit and try everything single possible combination until you get it right. Given that this would be unbelievably time consuming, it is advised that you take it to a locksmith.
You could always try and get in touch with the manufacturer of the bag or visit the point of purchase, too.
If you do not know the location of a locksmith then asking suitcase stores and possibly the manufacturer would be the next step to figuring out how to gain access to your suitcase again.
The best thing to do in future is to take a note of the combination and put it in a safe place. That way, if you do forget the combination you will be able to retrieve it. Failing that, try and make the combination something that is very meaningful to you but not obvious. Perhaps you could try a relative's birth year or the year that your favorite sports team was founded. Try and be creative yet meaningful with the combinations you think of.
