Access codes

The device uses several access codes to protect against unauthorized use of the device and the SIM card. You need the following access codes:

PIN and PIN2 code — The PIN (Personal Identification Number) code protects your SIM card against unauthorized use and is usually supplied with the SIM card. The PIN2 code may be supplied with some SIM cards, and is required to access some functions, such as fixed dialing.

After three consecutive incorrect PIN code entries, the PIN code is blocked, and you must unblock it with a PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) code before you can use the SIM card again. The PIN2 code may be supplied with some SIM cards, and is required to access some functions, such as fixed dialling number. If the codes are not supplied with the SIM card, contact the service provider for your SIM card.

Lock code — The lock code protects your device against unauthorized use. The default lock code is 12345. Change the code, and keep the new code in a safe place, separate from your device.

PUK and PUK2 codes — The PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) code is required to change a blocked PIN code. The PUK2 code is required to change a blocked PIN2 code. If the codes are not supplied with the SIM card, contact the service provider for your SIM card.

Restriction password — The restriction password is needed when using the Call restriction service. See "Changing the restriction password{No generated text before found for '#comma'}" p.65.

Some applications of the device use passwords and user names to protect against unauthorized use of the Internet and its services. These passwords are changed in the settings of the applications.
