Access Codes - Nokia 5100 User Manual

• ACCESS CODES

Use access codes to change your security code, PIN code, and PIN2 code.
Note: Avoid using codes similar to emergency numbers, for example,
911 to prevent accidental dialing of the emergency number.
The security code
The security code controls access to features such as the security level and
is supplied with the phone. The preset code is 12345.
Note: If you enter the wrong security code five times in succession,
you will not be able to enter a code for five minutes, even if you
power off the phone between incorrect entries.
CHANGE YOUR SECURITY CODE
Once you change the security code from its preset of 12345, keep the new
code secret, and in a safe place separate from your phone.
1 Press Menu 4-7-6-1 (Settings > Security settings > Access codes >
Change security code).
After a brief pause, you are prompted to enter the current security
code (default is 12345).
2 Enter the current security code and press OK. You are prompted to
enter the new security code.
3 Enter the new security code (up to 10 characters) and press OK.
You are asked to re-enter the new security code for verification.
4 Enter the new security code again and press OK. A message appears
in the display confirming your security code has been changed.
The PIN code
The PIN code protects the SIM card from unauthorized access. The PIN code
can be 4–8 digits in length. After three successive incorrect entries the
PIN code is blocked and you'll be asked to enter the personal unblocking
key (PUK) code.
Note: The PIN code must be obtained from your wireless provider.
The PIN code is typically provided with your SIM card.
