Security

Assigning a New Code or Password

Your phone’s four-digit unlock code is originally set to 1234, and
the six-digit security code is originally set to 000000 at the
factory. Your service provider may reset these numbers before
you receive your phone.
If your service provider has

not

reset these numbers, we
recommend that you change them to prevent other users from
accessing your personal information or modifying your phone
settings. The unlock code must contain four digits, and the
security code must contain six digits. Be sure to make a note of
the new numbers.
Notes:
Your service provider may retain your phone’s security code
for customer service purposes. In this case, you will not be
able to use phone features that require you to enter the
security code (such as master clear, master reset, and the
unlock code bypass feature).
If the only password you can change is the unlock code, the
New Passwords menu is unavailable and the Unlock Code
option appears on the Phone Lock menu. In this case, open
the unlock code editor by selecting: M > Settings
> Security > Phone Lock > Unlock Code.
