Access Codes, Phone Password | Samsung S500 guide

Access Codes

There are several access codes that are used by your phone and its SIM card. These codes help you protect the phone against unauthorised use.

Some access codes can be changed using the Security menu option (Menu 4.4). See page 86 for further details.

Phone Password

The Phone lock feature (see page 87) uses the phone password to protect your phone against unauthorised use.

The phone password is supplied with the phone and is preset to “00000000” at the factory. To change the password, use the Change password menu option (Menu 4.4.4). See page 87.

PIN

The PIN (Personal Identification Number) protects your SIM card against unauthorised use. It is usually supplied with the SIM card. When the PIN Check feature is enabled (see page 86), you must enter the PIN each time you switch on the phone.

If you key in an incorrect PIN three times in succession, key in the PUK and press the Ok soft key to unlock the phone. Key in a new PIN and press the Ok soft key. Key in the new PIN again and press the Ok soft key.
