In this article, we will discuss all official and alternative methods of changing the code on the suitcases Xiaomi Mi Travel, 90Fun Smart Luggage and other models with electronic locks.

• 🔒 Save the settings: Press the reset button again – now the lock will only open using the new code.

⚠️ Note: If you forget the current code, and the factory combination 0-0-0 It doesn't work, try it. 9-9-9 or 1-2-3 — These are alternative factory settings for some batches of suitcases, and if nothing works, you'll have to force the lock open (which we'll talk about in the last section).
