Passwords, PINs, and Access Codes
There are several access codes for use with your phone
and its Subscriber Identity Module (SIM card). These
codes help you protect your phone and the personal
information stored in it against unauthorized use.
When prompted to enter any of the codes explained
below, enter the appropriate code (asterisks appear in
your phone’s display) and press the OK (left) soft key
(
) or the
key.
Note: If you make a mistake, repeatedly press the
key until the
incorrect digit is cleared and then continue entering the correct code.
The access codes, except for the PUK and PUK2 codes
can be changed using the Security Settings menu. See
“Security Settings” on page 158 for further details.
Important! Avoid using access codes resembling emergency numbers,
such as 911, to prevent accidental dialing of an emergency number.
Phone Password
The Phone Lock feature uses the phone password to
protect your phone against unauthorized use. The
phone password is supplied with the phone and is
preset to “00000000” at the factory.
