Your muscle memory is stored in a different part of your brain than where your other memories are stored. So if you do something every day like open a combination lock, then the memory that knows your combination will get moved into muscle memory and you generally don’t have to “think about it” even though you can do it. Then, since you don’t have to think about it most days, you just slowly forget what the actual numbers are, and you just have to get the process started before your muscle memory will kick in to put in the rest of the combination. That process will then help you trigger your memory that actually remembers what the numbers are.
