How did I use my brain to remember a random number from a long time ago, freaky?

Sorry for the long question, just a lot to describe. I think I hacked into a different part of memory of the brain? At night before I fall asleep, I always like to think about things and reflect, and I have a good imagination, and write creative rap lyrics. Anyways, I was all chilled out and relaxed, not ready to fall asleep, just lying there, and decided to try to remember my old middle school locker combination from 1998 way back in the 8 th grade. So, at this point, my mind is clear from other thougts, no noise around me, and I kept saying locker number or something like that in my mind, not saying it allowed, but saying it in my head. I couldn't retrieve that combo or my high school locker combo, but I had a locker that my dad had gotten me for something to keep in handy at the house back than, and I hardly ever used it, except to fiddle with something, which was only a few times. I actually remembered this locker combination number I swear it was it. What was weird was the fact that I didn't remember my middle school locker combinations or high school locker combos, which I used constantly. Maybe, it was because I just got used to using those lockers on a regular basis, and than when a new school year came, I got another one, and those could be stored in another memory, different from that one locker my dad got me for the house that I hardly used. Maybe since the locker my dad got me was kept in my room, and when I fiddled with it in that place, I was in a calm, peaceful, and different kind of environment like I am at night where I can reflect, than a school environment where your friends were always around your lockers. Why did I remember the locker number I barely used way back in the day that my dad got me as opposed to my middle or high school locker numbers which I constantly used? What structures of the brain were working? I do not use any illegal drugs, just drink alcohol some times, and hadn't had any beers in a couple of days. I do have some anxiety issues/a.d.d issues. Any info about this will be helpful. I know in the past, I've heard, people claim that they can see futuristic events before they happen, blah blah, don't believe that, never have, but now I'm starting to. But, I can pull out past memories of major events in my child hood like vacations, but never a random locker combo like this.
@ Aloofy, good point, even though there were a lot better gifts that I got than a locker, maybe since I was just thinking about locker combos, I associated that locker combo to my dads gift that he gave me.
 
Sentimentality. The only things I remember about my childhood are the ones that meant something to me. This was a gift from your dad, so maybe it was more important in your mind.
