    Three digit combination locks are not that secure in general. Assuming one second per attempt, it takes at most 17 minutes to brute force. 000 would definitely be the first combination most any brute force attacker would try though.

      Whwn i was a child, for some reason i was responsible for all our luggage passwords. I don’t know why it happened or who thought that was a good idea. Anyway, i somwtimes forgot one after a year of not using one of four luggages or someone maybe changed it by accident. I brute forced so many of them, it’s shockingly easy. Especially if you gamble and start with 555 or whatever. One time it took me forever, because i just assimes it wasn’t 000 and started with 001
