It's a case made by Zero Halliburton, older model i guess because i can't find instructions anywhere. There is what i believe to be a reset button, but it will not move no matter what i do. fortunately the case is already open.
Anyone have any ideas? i would like to store cookies in this thing.

Red circle: Reset button?
Green box: "NPR 1989"

Do you know the combination? Cause if you do, and if Burton cases work the same as gibson guitar cases, then all you have to do is hold the button in the "open" position and then enter your own numbers, release the button and that's it.
If you don't (and this happened to me with a guitar case) then try shining a flashlight into the spaces where the thumbwheels turn. As you rotate the wheel, you'll see a small notch once it gets to the correct number. Line up all three thumbwheels in this way, and it should open.

You can also use a thin strip of metal if you have trouble using the flashlight method. Using a thin strip of metal – (like one cut carefully from an aluminum can) - to insert into the space beside each thumbwheel - hold pressure on the metal strip as you rotate the wheel - you'll feel the notch as you rotate - stop when you feel the notch and move on to the next wheel until you have all three set.
