Joginder sir, the code were like this ,still could'n figure it out

Munesh,i already tried it and it return the first item and not its previous condition before any selection were made

then you are simply using jquery function like that.
var HoldComboxId='';
$('#ComboxID').change(function()
{
HoldComboxId=$('#childcombo')[0].selectedIndex;
});

function resetComboboxValue()
{
$('#childcombo')[0].selectedIndex =HoldComboxId ;

};

The above function calling when your save button click.I assume your button click event is SaveRecords();

function SaveRecords()
{
resetComboboxValue();
}

I update some code check this.

If myComboBox.Items.Count > 0 Then

  myComboBox.SelectedIndex = 0 ' The first item has index 0 ' End If

Hi@king Umar
You are not mention what type of language using. So i mention that every type.
var drp1=document.getElementById('<%= drpdwn1.ClientID %>');
drp1.selectedIndex=0;
Using Jquery:

$('#childcombo')[0].selectedIndex = 0;
$('#combobox-input').focus().val('');

using C# language
Did you try cboxHour.Items.Clear()?
I hope these very helpful for you.

Hello @king Clear() method remove all the item from comboBox.
comboBox1.Items.Clear();
