Have you ever forgotten your pin for your baggage then search on Youtube? Generally they advice “set everything to 000, try to click the lock, turn to 001, try to click the lock again, keep doing this until 009, then try 010, try to click the lock, turn to 011, try to click the lock again, keep doing this until 019, then try 020, repeat and eventually you will open the lock”. Wait a minute isn’t the same as trying every combination from 000–999? That is just brute force! What a spin around just to get views!
